Bikes: too many

thinking about buying some tools for when i move out of davis and shop bro is now too far away to reasonably borrow tools from. mostly cone wrenches, felcos, and some pin spanners.

other thing i'd definitely stock up on is rags, degreaser (citrus water based works, but the best is the alcohol based brake disc cleaner for cars. terrible for you lungs and skin though, so you should probably wear gloves and use it outside), tri flow, and some good grease (phil if you can swing it, park tool poly lube is good too). 80% of the tune up is probably tightening cables and dumping tri flow all over everything.
