I have a '08 Stumpjumper FSR comp 26" that I've been riding for a few years.
Old Gary Fisher Marlin rigid
2011 Specialized Crux CX bike
2011 Salsa Mukluk for winter riding
A Blitz Cycle Works Ti 29er that I built last fall. And working on a Ti CX bike for next season.
From here on out its all Blitz bikes for me...Sorry Specialized I love your bikes, but love what I made with my own hands better...
2 that work, 3 that don't, 3 projects in progress, at least 10 more in various levels of completeness, and a bunch of other silly stuff that doesn't even belong in any of the above categories...
I second this, I have one bike. I sold off others I only like to keep one, all the best components get put into one bike instead of spread amongst a few. I have a 2012 trek superfly al.

I've been debating on selling the LHT because I have three bikes that can do the same tasks but for now I've decided to keep it.
My 2005 commuter bike (with handlebar basket, rear rack, ginormous waterproof panniers, loud bell and eyeball searing light)
My 2011 mtn bike that I'm currently gifting it a new seatpost and shiny sharp pedals in the next couple of weeks.
I would like a road bike but I'd like to learn some wrenching skills and I'm leaning towards buying a either a used road bike or drown myself and build a roadie from scratch.
I'm down to just four proper mountain bikes, and I just listed one of those, a Banshee Rune, up for sale.
The three bikes I intend to keep for the moment are as follows:
Banshee Viento (26" All-Mountain Hardtail), Devinci District (Single Speed Dirt Jumper), and a Devinci Wilson, (Downhill Bike).
I used to have a lot more bikes, but have I traded a few for a wife and kid
