Munchie saw my "Ultimate" bike repair stand, and thought it was pretty sweet. I would have been embarassed if he saw the 3 tool kits. Road/vintage, MTB and BMX. The truth is out, I like to tinker as much as I like to ride.
tinkering takes lots of time, that's my only beef with it (having a kid and all) but it is good fun. First time I ever removed a headset was last week, pretty easy stuff. It does also take a ton of specialty tools which sucks, like cone spanners, you need to have them in each size and 2 of each is preferable, lots of $$. My next "tool kit" will be specially for the track with spare rings and sprockets, chains, very simple to manintain which is nice about track bikes.
Don't ask why but I also made my own power bars last night. Found some recipe for them, full of sugar, chocolate and wheat germ and other assorted stuff, they taste OK (not as good as Clif), a bit sweet for my liking but I now have about a full years supply in the freezer.
