Just 1.

Started triathlon in 2005. Had a a lot of years off between then and now. But now that I have picked it up again I am still racing on my 2004 white Cannondale Ironman 800. The only upgrades over the years I went out of my way to purchase were Selle SMP Evo, Bontrager XXXL seatpost + brake levers, and Keywin CRM Titanium pedals. The plan has always been to get a new frame but only when I can average 38 km/h in an olympic. As far as I'm concerned if I can't hold that I don't have the engine to justify a new frame. Before I do a new frame I'll more than likely upgrade wheels + aerobars.

I am kicking around the idea of getting a road bike to put in more hours in cycling so I can actually train like a cyclist. But that is a problem for next year when indoor trainer season is over.

ca. 1980: A second-hand 10-speed my parents bought for me because I expressed interest in bike racing. I rode it for a couple of years (but never racing it) until it fell apart. I should have maintained it better; it would be worth a fortune right now.
1984-1996: Good old Dutch steel commuter/city bikes. One every two years or so because they got stolen or fell apart due to general abuse and poor quality (why would I buy good bikes if they get stolen anyway?). So lets say 6. That sounds about right.
1996: Giant ATX 840 mountain bike used for MTBing (even though there are no mountains in the Netherlands), city cruising, and the occasional commute. Lugged it with me to Gothenburg, Sweden for the year in 1998 and to Toronto in 1999. Rode the Don Valley trails for a bit in 99/00 but didn't ride much until 2009. Still have it and use it for city cruising.
2009: Cannondale CAAD9 which I still own and ride 3 times a week at least.
2011: Cannondale Slice which I rode for about a season before crashing into the passenger door of a Toyota minivan.
2012: Cervelo P4. Still riding and racing it. I love that thing.
2017: Trek 2.3, ca. 2008. Meant to be a "cottage bike" so that I wouldn't have to lug the CAAD9 back and forth to the cottage. Then we found out it's my wife's size and she's now riding it so I'm still lugging my CAAD9 back and forth :-/

Also in the house: My wife's 2008 or so Madone (which is really to small for her so now our son rides it), her Giant city/commuter bike, my son's MEC Shadowlands bike, and my younger son's BMX bike. Then there's my wife's 1999 Trek MTB that got stolen off our driveway, but which we only missed 6 months later (true story).

So: Have owned (and not anymore) about 8 or so, still own and ride 3, and paid for another 7.

I wouldn't want to try and count how many I have owned but I currently own...
1 tri bike
1 UCI legal TT bike,
1 road bike
1 track bike
2 mountain bikes
2 cx bikes
1 fixie commuter

That's after having just sold off 2 road bikes and a tri bike since buying my last bike. I have issues...

This thread makes me want to go out and buy 10 bikes (and validates my itch to buy just one).

Currently own 1 tri bike.

On a related note, having 4 bikes in the stable (Cervelo S3 & R3, BMC TM01, TMR02) that are all 10-speed is a main motivation for my gripe with 11-speed.

I am constantly switching wheelsets between the 4 bikes. To upgrade to 11-speed would be financially crippling!
All 4 bikes have the same saddle - Fizik Antares and Look Pedals. All saddles have the sweet clip attachment for a Fizik bike bag. And every wheel magnet is in the same location for the speedometer :-)

I can't imagine going 11-speed AND disc brakes. Talk about an overhaul and big $ investment!

That sounds nice. I would love to find a sale on a 64 cm frame. Of course that requires somebody to stock it first...

Oh wow, this is going to be a painful count! :-)

Road bikes: About 12 (currently have 3 that's in use, plus one hanging up)
Tri bikes: About 7 (currently only one, but it's my Ventum!)
MTB: 2
Other: 2

And my wife has more bikes than me... Bet we're over 50 combined between both of us over the years.

I'm in the middle of a move, so you would think that I'd have a firm number on the ones I currently own... Nope. If frames in varying states of partial build count, then it's something north of 12. Not including the kid's bike or my wife's collection (3, I think). No idea how many I've sold or otherwise off-loaded in my lifetime (not including the ones I built for customers). At least another half dozen.

Ah. See, 40-somethings are the perfect size for hanging on the wall.
