  • 3 and a half
    and a load of bits...

  • Good post.
    Though I feel those here that have read psychology will be smiling at the freudian undertones.

  • 1 dutch bike, 1 fixed wheel, 1 flat bike

  • 1 Pearson fixed commuter
    1 Giant hardtail
    1 hybrid child transport machine
    1 trailerbike & various kids bikes.

    All have to live outside (sob) chained to a ground anchor with various locks / cables under a dodgily-built awning thing to keep the rain off. Though they do get the occasional night in the kitchen when they need maintenance.

  • Owned:

    1 Fuji fixed
    1 Ridgeback Nemesis (odd but fun 8 speed city thing)
    1 Gazelle track frame

    Not owned but sleeping over:

    1 Fuji fixed for a mate
    1 Gazelle Cross Trophy frame

  • Currently 5
    Hopefully soon be down to 2
    Then maybe down to 1 before back up to 2 or 3

  • If your from the insurance company then its 6 with a total cost of £4,750 so lets just leave it eh.....

  • I use one of these now. I'm a bit worried about rust but wtf, it keeps the peace at home: three bikes in here, one in the hall, instead of three in the living room, one in the hall.

  • Two trackbikes
    One racing
    One touring
    One MTB
    A Long John (something like this - http://www.fahrradzukunft.de/fz-0603/0603-02/p1.jpg)
    and a big 3-wheeled cargobike - mostly used for dumpstering.

    Mostly I use my commute trackbike, and the 3-wheeler, and the touring-bike, in that order.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again, I want to BE haj!

  • 1 fixed
    1 tourer

    in deep negotiation over a track frame

  • 1x commuter
    1x track bike
    1x polo bike
    1x tourer

    oddly enough they're all the same bike.. viva la langster!

  • 1 track (kept at track)
    1 road (kept in hall)

    +2 sh*te MTBs I'm about to cannabalise (garage)
    +1 road frame (office!)

  • i have 8 frames but swopping means an indeterminate amount of bikes / combos. I'm with BMMF they are more like fuck buddy's i won't be tied down to any of them and if they nag me with that oh so grating grinding noise, fuk em they go on the shelf. (except for the plume, always except for the plume)

  • I have 2.5 bikes at the moment - Condor pista (bought about 2 years ago, and was my first fixed gear bike)...a beautiful Eimei that I got from the Fixed Gear London crew...and a Roberts lo-pro that is being built up at the moment, the frame was an opportunistic purchase on this one

    all live in my house, where I live with my family...they are getting concerned at the sudden proliferation of bicycles, but whatever, there is space for them all between two attic areas we have...any more and it would become a problem though...

    Clearly the Freudian tones alluded to by GA2G are over not under in our case.

    But I don't perceive any of my bikes as my mother (or father).

  • In our house there are currently 9 bikes between four people. OK, five of them are mine... six of them are fixed. We live a little too far away from a tube for it to be very expensive and so the flat is quite big. Good job that everyone in the house is a bike nerd...

  • ...

  • 1 Bridgestone fixed
    1 Orange P7 Pro xc mtb
    1 Trek ss hack/mtb/commutor

    Also gotta guest bike, as our lass is struggling to ride the ss!

  • i had 2 but one is held up in customs in america with all my winter clothes..

    You can go to jail for me.. then I'll give you the Long John ? ;)

    What are these like to use in practice Skullhead? Was thinking about getting one as an upgrade from the current bits-of-wood-covered-with-a-tarp protection, but thought it might be a bit of a faff to get in & out.

  • Currently.....

    Ribble road bike
    2 x track bikes
    mountain bike
    Kuwahara Nova bmx (old skool!) (Im 37.... ha ha)
    GT Vertigo bmx (mid skool!) (see above....)
    Haro 540 bmx (newer mid skool!)

    And I wish I still had the 1984 GT Pro Performer Eddie Fiola replica (sob sob)

  • The gf now has 3, so we have 2 rubberside down in the hall, 3 hanging in the hall (and 2 frames on the floor), 2 hanging in the bed/dining/living room.

    Oh and a bob trailer in the kitchen.

    We are currently looking for somewhere larger to live.
