This article I published on Bicycle Tools is aimed at all levels of bicycle maintenance, from simple cleaning to all out full period correct restoration. You will most likely want to start small, buy used and build up your set of tools, a bit at a time. Hope it helps...

Generally, it is wise to get tools as you need them and start with this plan at the very beginning. To this day, there are tools in my tool box that have gone absolutely unused. What a waste and so easy to avoid, simply by going with need, rather than want, or worse yet, what one was told to want.
