How many bikes do you own?

Equipment
100

OK, in an effort to “defeat” The Other Chad for the title of hoarding the most bikes by a hobbyist, here we go!!

Note all of the bikes listed are either rideable or have full build kits ready to go and just need wrenching time.

Road Bikes

  1. 1978 Richard Sachs with Campy NR/SR and Suntour Superbe mixed parts set

  2. 1980s Basso Gap Miami with Campy NR/SR parts.

  3. 2004 Calfee Tetra Pro with Generation 1.0 Shimano Di2. SRm crank and HED Jet 6 wheels. This is my main road bike - ridden several times per week.

  4. 2006 (approx date) LandShark custom with Campy Record 10s. Kept with Mom and Dad and ridden during visits home. Was my primary race bike for years.

  5. 2009 (approx date). Primus Mootry Kluisberg. One of the last built before PM closed up shop. Was ridden and raced but is now the dedicated trainer bike. SRm crank and Campy Record 10s group. Hand built HED Belgium and Chris King wheels

  6. Cannodale System Six built as an 11-12 pound hill climb bike. SiSL SRm crank, Zipp202 wheels, SRAM Red drivetrain, EE brakes, Speedplay Ti pedals. Have both RED and XX detailers so I can run mountain bike cassettes. Bike was built by a friend for BUMPS series and ended up with me. I’ve raced this one a bit but it mostly collects dust waiting for hill climbs sometime in the future.

  7. CoMotion Single Espresso - Campy 8 speed given to a friend who still rides it in Utah (OK, this doesn’t count as one of mine any longer as it was gifted. But I like Co-Motion and had to list it here :slight_smile:

  8. Early 2010’s Engin CX bike. Steel frame before Drew switched to all Ti builds. Custom parts pick. Cool bike used for gravel riding

Mountain Bikes

  1. 1992 SlingShot with first generation SunTour micro drive. Campy brakes. Syncros post and cockpit. Wasach Cycle Works handbill wheels with CF hubs.

  2. 1994 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 (wife’s). Shimano XT with Specialized cockpit parts. Judy fork (the gold one).

  3. 2014 Specialized Epic XC bike. Lives in Park City with a friend and used during vacations and other trips there.

  4. SantaCruz Chameleon single speed with Fox 32 (orange frame and fork). I9 wheels. XT crank, SRAM brakes, Reverb post.

  5. Ibis Mojo 3 is main mountain bike. Really fun ride. Fox 36 fork, Reverb dropper, SRm pedals and Sram XO1 drivetrain and XT brakes. Handbuilt wheels on I9 hubs.

  6. Carl Strong Ti 26’er. Shimano XT and handbuilt wheels with King hubs. (Going to a new home soon for a NICA rider)

  7. Schwinn IC3 - Wife’s trainer bike in the gym. Sure its a stretch but we’re trying to beat Chad here…

TT Bike

  1. 2016 (approx) Shiv Tri frame with generation 1.0 DI2 parts kit, 7800 SRm crank, 3T cockpit, TriRig brakes, HED Stinger 9 front and disk rear race wheels with back-up set of HED Jet 9s. HED Belgium and DT350 dedicated training wheels. Collecting dust since covid.

Unbuilt Frames / Bikes

  1. JP Wiegle 1980s. Have Campy SR build kit and Cinelli parts. Just haven’t built it yet.

  2. Mid 1990s Richard Sachs. Have Shimano 7900 build kit but haven’t built it yet.

  3. Dean/Crumpton collaboration for a one off frame made with Ti and CF tubes. 7900 Build kit but haven’t built it up

20). Just to get to 20 bike like things… Cervelo PC3 with Oval Fork. Giving this to a buddy so he can make a track bike out of it. If I had to do it over again I’d have stayed on the PC3 and not bothered with the Shiv

And with that, I have to jump on a call with my therapist about treatment for this bike problem.
