Make sure the bike shop checks frame alignment and derailleur hanger alignment too. You've said nothing about budget and could spend several hundred bucks if you got all the specialist tools for assembly (cone spanners, third hand grips, star nut insertion tool).

I recommend getting Park Tool Big Blue Book mkII - you can read up on all the jobs you need to do and figure out what tools you'll need.

If you're not going to get a book and do the research yourself and insist on getting the cool folk here to do all that for you, here's what we need to know:

• what kind of bike are you putting together
• how adept at spannering are you generally
• what's your tool budget
• do you have any other bikes
• how much room do you have to do the assembly (bike stand would be good)
• do you plan on doing maintenance going forward
• how much time do you plan on spending on it
• have you done any bike maintenance before

I personally think it's more respectful to do the research yourself and then ask specific questions about particularly gnarly problems that you can't find answers to elsewhere.
