I just reduced my lineup by morphing my Big Hit and Sinister DNA into a new 2006 Specialized Enduro Pro - this is my 'mountain bike'
Also:
Cannondale R 800 - Road Bike - road riding is fun, really.
Surly CrossCheck - in the works as an all rounder: kiddie trailer puller, city bike, off road thriller, and occasional fixie. Much better than a 26" beater.
DMR Trailstar in 24" Cruiser mode - these days primarily for returning videos and other short trips; I'm retired from street, park and dirt jumping until my kid(s) are ready to rip it up.

For a long time i was a one bike kinda guy, so I invested in a custom hardtail, rugged, singlespeed, ~30lbs, nothing more i could ask for really, except... i discovered track bikes (via riding a road bike for a summer) I got an extended loan on my aunt's unused track bike as the long distance, highspeed tourer. The two bikes complement eachother wonderfully and allow me to keep riding when one of them has a problem. But sometimes i feel like i should have a 'big bike' like you guys as a point of reference, something that will make my offroad adventures smoother, be flashy, heavy, have a full gear range, cables, two brakes, a long wheelbase; generally- something harder to manouver and easier on my touche.

If so why did you feel the need to and what do you ride them on? Also what are the 2 bikes?

I went and counted, 15 bikes total in my garage.

'05 IH MKIII almost finished being built up (again) for everything except DH
'04 IH SGS DH for DH
'03 Mt Tam 29er "for the wife to ride" which I'll probably do some commuting on
'03 Liquid soon to be on the Ebay chopping block

And the eldest kid just got her first real bike, another Fisher 29er

Add the "kiddie bikes" and the garage has about 7 plus 3 forks and one frame... and never enough tools...
I would like a cross or road bike, but I think wife logic dictates something else would have to go.:nopity:

does everyone on this board have a ton of bikes
or is it just the people replying to the thread?

i've got 3.

bmw park bike (play bike)
transition dirtbag (all-duty full susser)
gack trail mod cruiser (commuter)

if i had more money/more space i'd definitely have more...
in any case i'm building up another hardtail for my girl,
and am looking for a used road bike.
hopefully in some years i'll get a nice light and strong trail bike.

06 Sunday WC
04 Yeti 4x (bought mid 05)
02 Bianchi SL-lite RC (roadie)

I'm thinking about buying an XC bike, but TBH i'd rather just suffer on the hills on the 4x and then have fun on the downhills.
