Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Tools needed

Hello all

I've got lots of spare parts lying around and I wanted to build up a commuter. What are all the necessary tools (absolutely necessary) that I will need to build this up from scratch. I know it will have a 68mm bottom bracket

Thanks

Allen keys, cable cutters, pedal wrench, a socket wrench (depending on crankset), bb tool (depending on bb), chainwhip, cassette tool, headset press (can be homemade). Also, grease and lube. I'm probably forgetting a tool or two.
