i guess it goes the same as genrel bikes whare its your current number +1
so for me this goes
mankind + redline + felt = 24" cruiser

convince me for or against the idea... c'mon work with me....

Sounds like you got it about right.A few years ago I had 18 completes in the house.And one very pissed off wife.I`m down to 1 complete and 1 bits .I do feel a yearning for a cruiser coming on now though :daumenhoch

Jt · « **Reply #8 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:07 AM »

no answer really.

i have a few, but am going to sell some because i am bored of it at the minute.

i'll probably buy some different ones after that.

My wife read this at the same time as me and shouted..... ONE, HOW MANY CAN YOU RIDE AT ONE TIME.

Although i have one cruiser four made up and i'm in the middle of one other.

and these are just BMX's.

My mrs has 32 pairs of shoes/boots and she can't wear them all at once......so I've got quite a while yet for more BMXs

Just replied this to her, apparently she doesn't have that many but Handbags is a different story.

I had over 20 at one point and sold nearly all of them, now i've bought a load back which i'm keeping and I have only 1 complete and lots in progress. I hope to end up with 8 complete in the office and a few other f/f's in the loft to look at. Over 20 was a bit much but Lu doesn't moan so that's good

Andy ,

You'll have to explain to her that going out with more than one handbag looks pretty daft too !

Tell her she only needs one

the correct number of full bikes one should have is 6 old school racers and 9 old freestylers......if you dont get them by the end of the year , you will be ignored on this forum!

Dex Dexter · « **Reply #22 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:24 AM »

It feels like I've got the right amount, in fact probably 1 too little but at the same time, if they are sat under blankets I ask myself, "what's the point?".

NS race Cruiser - ridden weekly.
NS 20" racer - never ridden.
NS park / street bike - ridden weekly.
Retro 20" - ridden now and then when I'm up at my mums.
Retro Quad cruiser - never ridden.

I know I'm missing an OS 20" but then that will only be ridden once a year.

I think the Quad 24" needs to go as that wont get ridden. The NS 20" should too but it feels wrong not having a 20" race bike

The retro at my mums is a bit of a waste so I may split that up and sell.

And then (and only then) I may go for an OS racer.

moley · « **Reply #23 on:** March 20, 2009, 12:05 PM »

I have

Newschool
Coyote Schizoid (replacement from RADBMX lads after mine got nicked)

Haro Group One RS1

Auburn XL (1995)
Redline 700 (?)
Robinson Team Model (1992)

+ 1 racer and 2 MTB's
