As above really, how many bikes have you got? Do we have any serious collectors with a bike for each day of the week and then some?
I've got four myself (two road bikes, a tourer and an MTB), but I'll bet there's plenty on here with a lot more than that judging by some of the stuff that's been posted in the past.

Four for me. Scott Addict R1 with DA 7900 for summer (?) race duties, training etc. A crusty, trusty & dusty Ribble Winter/Audax jobbie. There's a Giant Anthem X2 for off road shenanigans & my 1986 Team Raleigh. This is the keeper. 753 with full Campagnolo SR. This is a proper, pukka ex team bike from a bygone era.
Quite fancy a PX Aluminium jobbie so as to save the Addict for best. They look the part are light & with new 105 would be a tasty ride for general riding....it's a crap excuse to buy another bike but what the heck!

4 for me. (or 3 and a BSO)
Main road bike - Merida Road-Race HFS 905 - in daily use during the week, riding for fun/fitness
Old road bike - Falcon Pro-Line (1993) - out of action with worn out head bearing
Off road fun - GT Avalanche 3.0 - out of action with a holed chainstay
BSO - utterly worn out Les Smith Special for daily hacking round the barracks

Four for me, although usually 2 are hanging in the garage for half the year.
Pedalforce CF/CF (frame/fork), a summer bike with sprints, it's really a race bike for when I feel "fast". Normally used March to October
Bianchi SL, Al/CF, summer hack bike with clinchers for when it's raining. Normally used March to November
Shogun Al/Al. 1996-ish winter hack bike with hand-me-down parts, usually November to March.
Marin steel MTB. An old hardtail for when it's really wet and muddy over winter.
