I love that even in this sentence bikes is plural

I have my road bike and my old road bike that lives on the trainer. As a broke teen, it’s more than enough for me

Currently a Tarmac SL6, new Epic Evo Expert, Neo Bike.
I got my mtb early this year and have not ridden it much and probably has less than 100 miles. More than likely selling it soon to finance a gravel bike with 2 wheel sets and then sell my Tarmac as well.
Other: neo2t and saris mp1 that have been sitting around since getting my neo bike 1+ years ago.

How many I ‘own’? How many my wife thinks I own, and how many I actually own.
How many I use? Some of them aren’t really for riding, just to look at and drool and feel paranoid about. ‘My precioooouuus!’
Maybe add how many you own that are actually ride-able?
Six bikes. All used pretty regularly.
My wife is aware that each one is aimed at a specific use. When I get a new one, it pushes one out the door.
Enduro/Trail
2021 Yeti SB130 TLR
Used the least - only because I have to drive far for terrain worthy of this bike. Once kids are back in school I’ll take it out more.
XC
2021 Specialized Epic EVO Expert (upgraded to AXS)
Gets ridden at least once a week
Gravel
2019 Viathon G1 Force
I rotate between this and the Crux as my “get out for a ride” bike.
CX
2018 Specialized Crux
See above
Road/Crit
2012 Felt F5
This is on the trainer. I try to get it outside at least once a month.
Commuter
2022 Kona Dew Plus
This has the kids seat on the back - used for school drop off. It’s summer now, so it gets occasional use.

I’m move to Portland in 2020, just in time to see Alpenrose close. I’m also bummed to see The Lumberyard is closing this month.
You have the Emonda and a Domane. Is the ride that different between the two?
It is quite different in some ways. The Emonda is the SLR carbon model, and the Domane is the ALR aluminum. There is a huge weight difference for one thing and the geometry is much quicker handling on the Emonda. Once at speed, they are fairly similar though until you go to change directions or kick a hard acceleration.
I rode the Emonda for years until I got the Domane finished. I got the D as a framset deal and took far too long to finish the build. But I am using the Domane as my daily use bike now and saving the Emonda for races or special days like climbing the Beartooth pass. Just a luxury really, and the Domane is a great bike for the price.

Looks like I currently have seven bikes. I’d say I basically ride them all, with the exception of my Cannondale 2.8. I should probably list that one for sale. The rest of them though, they’re all very unique and serve a different purpose for me.
Has nobody here two (or more) similar cx bikes for racing?
I only have space (and money) for 1 bike - which use to be a road bike but now is a carbon hardtail 
With a decent FTP i can keep up with faster group rides on-road as long as I make use of the draft.
All my workouts are outdoors too as I have no space (or money) for an indoor trainer either! I think i am one of the few here.

I have an SSCX and geared CX, same but different. At the local races it seems like the entire P/1/2 field has a spare pit bike.
I almost ended up with a second geared CX bike for free when Giant shipped a second to fill my order to my LBS.

Two for me! But extra wheel sets. I race, ride, and commute on both.
CX bike that I have setup with my cross wheels in the fall/winter and 33c tyres, and a pair of carbon gravel wheels with 38c GravelKings for spring and summer gravel.
Road bike with more of an endurance geometry, which I keep 32c tyres on but it can fit larger for light gravel. This is also the bike I use on the trainer.
Soon three though… I am going to build a fixie out of an old Specialized Crossroads that my in-laws have.

Agree. I’ve had my gravel bike 3 years. I’ve thought about upgrading to the new model but the advances are nice but small. From mechanical 1x11 speed to 1x12. More rear compliance. Bigger tire clearance. All nice things but hard to justify an upgrade when my current bike works great and is setup just how I want

You might be. I’d definitely have some challenges doing all my workouts outside. Being able to train inside during the week is super efficient
Yep, I have a Trek Boone and Crockett which are basically identical save the frame material. I also have a Surly Crosscheck setup singlespeed that’s served me fairly well for SSCX.

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.

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

A road bike, the old road bike that lives permanently on the trainer, an e-bike, a hybrid, and a bike that belongs to my BiL.
