I always thought old broken parts were much better to use :\ hm...Of course we have had new bikes and put them together, you just gotta be patient on your response. When i got my new bike (2006 WeThePeople Sinus from flatland fuel) It came basically all put together already, all I had to do was put the handle bars on and the pegs. This involved a ratchet with a couple inch extension and deep socket of the correct size, a crescent wrench to tighten the compression bolt holding the stem onto the forks and a 6mm allen wrench to tighten the bolts in the headset. I ride brakeless so i just tossed the brakes to the side and was all set with a few other minor adjustments.If you plan to work on the brakes I assume they will come with the correct size cabling and you really just need a 5 or 6mm allen wrench to get the lever on and to tighten the calipers onto the forks. You will also need that adjustable wrench handy or the correct size regular wrench to adjust the spring tension on the calipers.I really cant think of anything else I needed to use, but heres a list below to sum it up.- 5 and 6mm allen wrench- ratchet, extension, deep socket(size of the nuts on your axle)- crescent wrench- adjustable wrench
