How many bikes again
......so at the moment i have
'good' race bike
Mountain bike - stuff with kids, odd off road ride.
Cyclo cross bike - used for commute bike well old but still going well
winter bike - 8yrs old 'Trek 1000' again no complaints still holding it's own.
I did have a fixie which expired early winter, too many holes in the 531 frame.
Thinking off buying a good cyclo cross which could be my mountain/commute/winter bike all in one.
What d'ye think?

Raleigh Superbe 4 speed
Raleigh Royal tourer - currently off the road because thunder-thighs here somehow sheared an axle
Viscount Pullman - an old 3 speed, stripped of it's 3 speed bits (for another project) and rebuilt single speed - great for locking up at the station
