Okay, however many lugged steel framebuilders there are in Italia, that's an
acceptable number of bikes to own. I am up to the 'D's myself (Bottecchia,
Colnago, De Rosa) and still working my way up. (Hi Ms Kenny. Nice to see
your input on this most recreational of all threads ;-)
all my best, -D
What about bikes that you keep for sentimental reasons? In addition to
the standard road bike, mountain bike, track bike and riding-to-the-store
bike, I have the Firestone 500 I got when I was 12 or 13 years old and
the fat tire bike my mom got when she was a kid...

This is the 'minimum' that any one should have. Mike has only 9, who
has
more and what needs to be added to the list?

There IS no such thing as too many bikes, just not enough storage space ;-)

I agree...though I don't have the cross bike OR the riding to the store
bike yet...my trusty Kona suffices for all dirt and urban assault uses ;-)

Depends on what you do...possibilities include TT bike, trials bike,
*another* MTB (only one assumes that you have either a XC or a DH
bike...you might *need* another type ;-)

Candi,
I tend to agree with Mike -
In our house we have:
Lisa: 1 OCLV, 1 Ciocc, 1 Masi, (all road) and 1 Trek touring bike (and I
don't even race)
Patrick: 2 OCLV's (one commuter, one race) 1 Track and just sold the
cyclocross bike. Also about 7 extra sets of wheels plus misc. parts
We "NEED": 2 mountain bikes and a tandem
Hey - can we count the Burley trailer that we drag Madison around in???
We have friends (Jeff and Jacqui Lockwood) that have in excess of 20 bikes so
we don't feel too bad.
By the way will we ever see the two of you on a tandem?
Lisa
