Bikes: Lots

Umm, under "Bike Kits", full XTR w/all Race Face parts. $1,399.98.

I would suggest getting a work stand. It really makes working on your bike easier. I'd get one of the portable ones. You can get some for under $200.00. Pedro's makes one, Park makes various, and there is one called the Witch Doctor (I think).

They are nice, but not necessary. You can get one of those folding bike holders for $5 from Home Depot and it'll elevate the bike so you can spin the cranks and adjust shifters.

I would as a minimum buy these tools:

Bike Specific: (Either Park,Pedro's or Wrench Science)
Crank Puller
Cassette Tool
Bottom Bracket Tool
Spoke Wrench
Cone Wrench(s)
Pedal Wrench
Cable Cutters
Full set of allen wrenches (Long)
4,5 & 6 (mm) Y wrench
4,5 & 6 (mm) Y wrench boundhous
2,2.5 & 3 (mm) Y wrench
Grease Gun w/Grease (obviously)

Non-Bike Specific:
Set of GOOD screwdrivers (flat & phillips)
Side Cutters
Channel Locks
Creasent Wrench
Dead Blow Hammer
Rubber Mallet
Carpenter's hammer

That's all I can think of at the moment!
