Basic tool kit for ss/fg?

Hi everyone,

I recently made the decision to purchase a Surly Steamroller, and as part of this new style of riding for me, I also want to perform my own maintenance. Up until now, I have generally just dropped my bike off at the LBS once a year and let them handle it for me, but now that I am finally purchasing my own bike (just for me!), I have a bit more incentive to take care of it. I'm still expecting to leave major problems up to my LBS, but it would be nice to be able to fix anything that arises in everyday use at home or on the road.

What would a basic kit list for this look like? I'm thinking of starting with a spanner (http://www.parktool.com/products/det...=17&item=SS-15) and building from there. Other immediate items I can see being needed are a pump (need suggestions on this) and a hex wrench set (already have this). What else might I need?

Thanks in advance!
