I'm definitely out of the bike lust/acquisition mode at this time, which is fine with me. I presently have two bikes, that I ride based on my mood or application:
1977 - Custom Schwinn Paramount P-15; re-painted and restored by CyclArt to their Cat. 1 level finish in 1997. Blue paint, red pinstriped with lots of chrome and polished aluminum, mostly vintage period correct components, but it was recently converted to 700c wheel size with Tektro R556 brakes. A very handsome bike with a custom made front rack including an integrated decaleur. 1996 - Rivendell Road Standard. Presently fitted as a Randonneur/ tourer with racks and fenders. Original champagne color custom paint, with red pinstriping, a beautiful bike.. Living in an apartment restricts the room available for additional bikes, and I really don't need anything else. I've sold several bikes in recent years, including a very nice Waterford W-13 with a complete Campagnolo Super Record component ensemble.
