I'm thinking that you probably don't need nearly as many tools as you are thinking. You will be surprised at how much you can do with just a 5mm Allen wrench. Certainly you'll want a set of Allen wrenches. I'd suggest individual wrenches rather than a folding set because orienting a folding set sometimes won't work for a simple job like mounting a water bottle cage.

Depending on how you ship your bike, you may need a pedal wrench first thing when you arrive. chain replacements require a special tool and cassette replacements require some tools but you might choose to wait to buy them when you purchase your replacement parts.
