Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

It depends a lot on the age of the bike.

If you have an old bike, you don't need much more than a dumbbell wrench:
In addition to which you probably want a chain tool, a spoke wrench, a screw driver, tire levers, and a pump.

A cone wrench or two can be very useful, and a 15mm open end wrench is needed for pedals.

If you're working on newer bikes, you need allen wrenches and a crank puller.
