php if…?! how to make an element load/not load based on post_count?

So my custom scrollbar is finally working, but I am trying to get it to only load when there are more than 2 posts displayed. This is totaly wrong but something this simple would be great:

<?php if ( $post_count > 2 ) ?>
<div id="track2"><div id="handle2">>>>>></div></div>
<?php endif; ?>

Here’s the link to what it looks like when it comes up right.

Here’s what I’m trying to avoid!

Thanks a lot and I hope this makes sense… I’ve been at it for a while and just can’t figure it out.
