I feel better:

2 x NeilPryde (road and TT)
1 x Holdsworth (track)
1 x Thompson (hillclimb road; the Belgian road bike manufacturer not the cheap BSO seller)
1 x Viner ('winter' road)
1 x Ridgeback (audax)
2 x Merida (CX/commuter and road - Zwift use)
1 x Woodrup (retro road)
2 x Raleigh (retro road and hybrid)
1 x Dawes (Kingpin)
1 x Fuji (grasstrack fixie)
1 x Harry Perry - for sale
1 x Carlton - back to original owner or will be for sale

Ignoring the last two that's just 13.

Oh, and the Holdsworth is the newest being from 2020 so there's no chance of me matching those who turn up on the latest kit.

 

[Illaveago]

I doubt their figures as I have 37 million in my garage.

He's posh alright. He had Nissan Note, don't you know.

Not knowing wot a Note looks like,i have just googled.Can i ask why does it look like two cars have been glued together,i am not liking the rear end.

 

[Drago]

I'm not a fan of Biggs' rear end either but we wouldn't make this personal

How many of them are BSOs though?
I recall a discussion at my LBS about the perils of buying bikes too cheap.
LBS owners stance was, people think..I want a bike
They then see the price of even moderate quality bikes and think...I'm not paying that !!!!
So they buy a BSO , get no pleasure from riding it (poor design, poor quality, poor components) and chuck it in the shed...fot it to be rarely, if ever, used again.

They're a great disservice to cycling, put people off for life

A few of them have been 'retired' to the bike rack at my train station, judging by the fact they've been sitting there for months now with slowly flattening tyres.
