Hey All,
I've got a mid 80's Raleigh Grand Prix and a 1990 Lotus that I'm tinkering with. Both single speeds. Anybody know the specific tools I'd need to get going? I'm thinking a crank puller, freewheel tool, bottom bracket tool, etc. I've got a few cone wrenches already, and a chain tool. Of those mentioned, does anybody know specifically what I need, or anything I missed, to be able to to do everything I need to do on these bikes? Thanks in advance.
Dan

Buy your tools as you need them and get decent quality stuff. That way you are buying what you need and will be able to use it all for along time.
What you need depends on what you want to do. For example, if you want to over haul your bottom bracket you need a bb wrench and pin spanned. These Borrow are not real useful for anything else, so if it is a one time job think twice before you buy. Borrow or have the work done in that case.
Get a Park Tool "Big Blue Book". That will tell you how to do maintenance and list recommended Park tools to do the work.
