    Just the three. Mrs. Elephant tells me that three should be the minimum if I'm commuting every day. :twisted: I married well.

    I actually have four, if you count the old BSO mountain bike I first started commuting on. I don't.

    5 at the moment:

    - old RockHopper; workhorse/shopper/bike I use when I might need to leave it locked up in public
    - old road bike; currently on my turbo trainer
    - new road bike; carbon fibre goodness
    - Tricross CX; usual commuter
    - new Rockhopper; off-road shenanigans

    I'm thinking of adding a folder to the stable.

    It is too. Rides like a dream, fast and fun. The frame is likes I've not seen before, internal brake cable routing, the lot.

    I must say that the others get ridden a *lot* less than the Orbea. 4000 miles I've ridden on it since I bought it in June last year. Bought it off eBay for not a lot, when it arrived it was like brand new.

    One. Just one. It's my bike that I ride to work, in sportivs, to the farm, anywhere. One is great. I'm always on my best bike, not putting up with something not as good just because it rained some hours ago or whatever.

    Oh and a hybrid that Boy Sr seems to have claimed for getting to school. Go on son. Get in there.

    Vulcan for the woods and trails (soon to be rebuilt on a bigger frame) - love this bike.
    New 2nd hand Carrera Valour - how have I survived so long without a road bike? Mind-boggling sensations.

    I can turn it up to 11. 8) :oops: (not sure which one is more appropriate)

    The first 7 are entirely justified

    BMC SL01 - Good road bike
    Athleticum Zip Road - Everyday/winter road bike
    Giant Bowery - Fixed
    Axman Carbon - For touring/heavy commuting
    GT idrive - full suss mountain bike
    Decathlon Vitamin - fitted with studded tyres for the snow
    Specialized StreetStomper - My first proper bike, now used for dog walking duties

    After that I struggled to justify any more. But i bought them anyway:

    Red Bull full suss carbon mountain bike - cos its nice and sooo much better than the GT
    Planet-X Nanolight - cos it was such a bargain
    Charge Plug - cheap and cool
    Colnago Master X light - My girlfriend spotted it at the back of a bike shop (second hand), good price and it just seemed rude not to.

    There are also 2 very old bikes that we inherited with the house, rod brakes etc, similar to a swiss army bike. But i've not got round to fettling them yet.

    I appear to have a bit of an addiction. I just can't stop looking and thinking hmm thats nice :oops:
