How many retro bikes do you own/whats the average number ?

Four Saracens - 3 pre-'97, 1 post. Only the oldest retro in sense of near original. Rest simply hang whatever seems most suited/best value off what are very nice (and VERY good vfm) frames. Originality doesn't really bother me, although I do appreciate others' efforts and achievements.

Same approach here Dave.

1 proflex 856 part-built
1 proflex 857 beater
1 cannondale SM400 - 1988-ish awaiting work
1 cannondale M400 - 1993 beater, currently awaiting parts
1 Kuahara Shasta - road conversion commuter
 
The seven on my signiture, one in transit that I've just brought and a couple of frames in the "Harry Potter cupboard" [Under the stairs] that I haven't built up yet. I've had to sell my tumble dryer to make room for them all :oops:
 
See below, should help average up! HLF and Pinnacle do have enough quality parts around them to be classed as complete, just not all fitted at present, like the Funk, oh, there's another one coming too, so 10.
 
I'm down to two at my flat, and that's where I need to keep things.
My, mintier than a lorry load of Polo's, 1990 Overburys and my 87' Jamis Dakota Comp. It'd take a life changing event for me to part with either, but I'm not too bothered at the moment about adding to them.
I do also have an 88' Jamis that I keep in Germany for when I visit with my work though :D
As much as I shouldn't, I still always find myself looking for something special!
 
None....as I doubt 2007/8 Giant counts ;)

Do intend to source a mid-90's fully rigid (ideally Giant) to restore/convert to SS runabout.....Expect plenty of questions when I eventually start! LOL
