I have a lot of tools, sockets/allen/hex wrenches/wrenches and many more-all for modern cars. Nothing at all which is bike specific though.
For now, I am going to take care of the basic stuff. Cleaning/lubricating all parts which do not require any specific tools.
'maddog34' when you say wheel and hub, you mean greasing front and rear wheel/hubs?
yep.... that's the first thing i do on a revival... you'll NEED those two cone wrenches, the automotive thin wrenches are too thick to fit most bicycle bearing cones... and find the correct freewheel/ freehub remover, too. And i sand the brake tracks on aluminum rims too,,, makes for better braking, and more even wear pattern. I use 180 or 220 grit sandpaper.
