Five POINT EIGHT SIX

All y’all with more than 11 bikes were identified as outliers. Don’t worry, I didn’t exclude you.

(actually, it looks like this test assumes a gaussian distribution, so it may not be accurate)

could you massage it to come out to 5 point eight three?

Yup, currently no bikes/frames in my possession. There are still multiple sets of wheels/build kits/all my tools, but no bikes that roll.

Was at 5 before moving back to CA (race bike, CG, TT bike, cross, xc mtb ), paired it down to three when I made the move.

Swapped a dedicated commuter for the TT bike once I got here, but had no time to do much riding so sold off stuff that was lingering. Still can’t race/train the way I like due to nerve issues and current place isn’t super bike accessible so haven’t replaced those yet.

Though I do have a tab open to a XXL squidcross frame on craiglslist if that counts for something.

A standard deviation of 3 is pretty hilarious. 2 bikes, 5 bikes, 8 bikes, 11!

Somehow this is the most rediculous number from all of that. And my most favorite.

This stupid little forum has 400+ bikes. And that’s not even all of us.
