The hooligan that started my team has to easily be in the 50s for bike count. He did a post every day of December a couple years ago of a different bike in his collection.

You have company! The entire year I’m doing outside workouts 4-5 days a week. Inside workouts happen maybe 4 or 5 times per year.

For those of you who turned old bikes into trainer bikes: I recently took my Dogma off my Kickr and put my old Allez on. My workouts have gotten significantly harder (erg mode). My saddle and saddle position are identical. I use the Kickr’s built in power meter for both, so that should be reading the same. Is it as simple as the difference between a complete Dura Ace setup and a complete 2009 105 setup causing power loss across the drive train?
Seems odd and never had that when i had a trainer bike. Assuming gearing is the game or riding erg in same gear?
Sounds like something in the drive train. Maybe a worn bottom bracket bearing or chains, jockey wheel etc. if you just spin your pedals by hand off the trainer, do you notice any strange friction?

5 for me: 1 road, 2 MTB, 1 CX, 1 TT
My SC blur gets the most ride time followed by my Trek Domane road ride. Trek Fuel EX for when I’m doing a more ‘fun’ MTB ride. Cannondale SuperX really only get ridden in CX season. Cervelo P2 in boxes in the basement. I haven’t ridden it since pre-pandemic, It’s 10+ years old so I only keep it around because I couldn’t sell it for anything worthwhile and maybe some day I’ll do a TT again…

Colnago C68 just arrived, so that will be main bike and the other one will be for winter and travel.
Wilier Pista single speed
Small but well-formed fleet.
I have 2 cx bikes
Usually i start on my giant tcx and have my planet x xls in the pits love both of them but the giant fits me slightly better, if its a faster flatter course i would start on planet x as it has deeper wheels.

Custom Chinese Ti all road bike w/fenders. This bike gets more of the miles now and I love ripping around on it.
All City Nature Boy 853 SSCX (green to white fade). The Getrad bike. I use it as a year-round commuter mostly, but I’ve done centuries to singletrack on it. I smile every time I get back on this bike.
Misfit Psycles DiSSent 29er. Early 29er SS hardtail that isn’t anywhere near modern geo, but it’s a hoot for ripping around my local trail system, or riding with my kiddos on rail trails where the spinny gear means I’m not dropping them haha.
Novara Strada. Dedicated trainer bike and it’s been great. 3x8 105!
Btwin Triban 3 - Mostly trainer but also road duties.
Mondraker Dune - 160mm MTB - Most Sundays
Mongoose Fireball - Dirt Jumper - every few weeks for pump track and dirt jump fun
TNT Wyfebeater - BMX - I’ve had this since the late 90s, very occasional use but the DJ has superseded it.
Brompton S3L - occasional commute and local trips
Specialized Rockhopper - It got me back into MTB 10 years ago but is now relegated to child carrying duties.

Has anyone said ‘Apparently not enough’ yet? I still see bikes I’d love to ride, and own. I’m often envious of some of the people who own killer bikes that I see aound.
Do I have a bike problem, or a money problem.

Gravel bike
Flatbar road bike for zwift and rides to the park pulling a burley
I live by that. I bought 4 trials bikes between Oct 22 & Feb 23 
Working to sell a few this season (BMX & gravel) then add back at least one as a replacement (gravel).
Largely speaking I am set, but I really got amped on trails again and bought “one of everything” to have most of the common types & wheel sizes.
Nice road bike
Rainy day road bike
Gravel bike
TT bike
Track bike
Tempted to get rid of the rainy day bike and just use my gravel bike instead for those rides. Also, I really don’t get to the velodrome as much as I used to before COVID so could get rid of my track bike too.
But to be honest, I wouldn’t get a great deal of money for either of them and I have plenty of room in my garage…

CX bike
Gravel/CX bike (may sell this to fund a TT bike) not sure I can justify having two CX bikes as I can’t be bothered to take 2 to races as I don’t know how much time it would shave off my race times.
I just added one to the stable. 1993 Eddy Merckx Cadre MX Leader in the team Telekom livery. with the OG Dura Ace 7402 drivetrain.
I want to strip it down to the frame and put my ultegra 6800 on it with a new fork (factory original fork is bent).
