alot of people have commented already, honestly I didnt read them all.
If you are going to do any solo riding you had better have some basic tools right away!
Im just talking about the stuff needed to repair or change a flat, which is probably the most common type of roadside breakdown.
extra tube, patch kit (for a 2nd flat), tire levers, pump. maybe a set of allen keys.
as far as cone wrenches, BB tools, chain tool, cassette whips. yada yada, those get very little use when maintaining only 1 or 2 bikes, no need to purchase until you need them or just use the ones at you co-op should the need arise.
final thought, if you need a workstand, do you also need an indoor trainer for those crappy winter months?? dual purpose for %90 of repairs.
