[Brandon White]

[andrew flowers]

3 steel/1 aluminum

sold the carbons

[thollandpe]

1 Steel - 10%
1 Titanium - 50%
1 Carboon - 20% (more when it fits right)
4 Aluminum (not road but 'cross, MTB, tandem, TT) - 20%

[Chance Legstrong]

NOTHING with discs

[fixednwinter]

1 in stainless
1 in steel (MAX)
1 in tube-to-tube carbon
2 aluminum (one road, one cross)

The stainless gets ridden almost daily on weekdays and during rainy weekends.
Carbon & alloy road are for fast club weekend rides in dry weather.
The steel bike in MAX is an old MX Leader with downtube shifters and criterium bars. That gets ridden on gravel & light trails when I feel like it.
Cross alloy is getting more time as fall approaches.

Currently 2 steel, on a wait list for one more steel bike.

I have this notion I need a mountain bike despite living in Illinois. Keep telling myself I could go with a Black Sheep mtb and finally have a Ti bike. Of course then I come here and see Mr. Garro and 44's steel MTB's and I'm back thinking I need a 4th steel.

2 carbon
1 steel
2 aluminum

[jsmillerjr]

4 steel
1 carbon

TIG welded steel = 70%
Lugged steel = 20%
Carbon= 10%

Choices of what to ride more based on fit than material.....but there is something about steel ;-)

[SteveP]

NOTHING with discs

yet.

you still owe me $$$

[Saab2000]

Steel 65%
Carbon 25%
Aluminum winter single speed 10%

Not enough difference between the materials to get excited about. The tires make a bigger difference between them.

[DrZRM]

Just shifted from 4 steel (one 1 stainless) and 3 ti, to 5 steel and 2 ti by replacing my Moots YBB with an incoming Zanc No carbon for me...except forks.

[Bob Ross]

66.6666666% steel
33.3333333% carbon

...although, one of my steel bikes has a carbon fork, so... ah, forget it, math makes my head hurt.

[znfdl]

3 steel
2 Ti

[KeithNYC]

1 carbon road bike.

1 steel road bike converted to fixed w WI ENO

i split time nearly equally between the 2

[fc356]

4 steel waiting on another
2 ti
1 carbon
accumulated over past 25 years
probably ride carbon 40% and steel 55%, ti just 5%
and so it goes

[thollandpe]

Waiting for the 110% joke . . .

[Todd Amunrud]

1-Ti, mtb race bike
2-steel, ss 29r and a beater bike for bar hopping
1-Aluminum, work commuter

[christian]

1 steel roadbike (MX-L) 90%
1 steel cx bike (Zanc) 10% (It arrived day before yesterday and I've ridden it once... It's really, really, really light!)

I would like to get Strada Bianca and a Specialized Tarmac or some such "racy" road bike too, but not urgently. These two will get me through the winter.
