Of course there are several list members who probably can't remember all the bikes they got, and are too busy riding to go conduct a census.

For what it's worth, my stable consists of:

In New Jersey: '49 Ephgrave #1 (frame was updated in the '80's with sacrilegious modern dropouts, and currently built with Suntour VX shifty stuff and TA ProVis cranks), '73 MKM (refinished by Franklin Frames and built up with mostly black 1st gen Dura Ace), early 70's Baylis/Howard Wizard (Running mostly Japanese components now, but slowly changing over to high end French), '79 Trek 510 (with Ishiwata 022 tubing and asst. componentry, the Rain Bike), '79 Assenmacher Tandem (with the snazzy rectangular keel "tube") and an early '70's Torpado (newest toy, at the shop getting some preliminary prep work done).

Back in Kansas City: '74 Paramount P10, '76 PX10, '72 Raleigh Pro (all sorta original, but not 100%), mid '70's Cirrus 7 (a Tom Teesdale frame privately labled for a NE shop), '57 Major Nichols, '81 Marinoni, '70's Italvega, '78 Mondia (She Who Must Be Obeyed's bike), '70's Benotto 2500 (built with GPM parts) and an off topic Diamondback and Cannondale Tandem.

Particular favorites? Probably the Ephgrave and the Paramount ride the best, but the Paramount is a load on hills and the Ephgrave slightly too small. I don't have enough miles on the Wizard for a firm opinion, but preliminary impressions are favorable. Still looking for the bike that pedals itself. But I'll happily ride any of em, given the chance.
