FWIW, I just took a bike, stripped everything off it but the crankset, and replaced it all. Off of the top of my head, I don't think I used any tools that you don't have listed, except for a pedal wrench.

Pick up a tub of this , a small tube of anti-sieze from the auto parts store, and some chain lube, and you're set for virtually everything on the bike.

For torque wrenches, in actual tests, some of the better ones are from Harbor Freight, believe it or not. Just remember to loosen the tension on the handle before putting them away, which is true of any spring-based torque wrench.

What does everyone think of this bike:

I think he would think it's pretty cool to have the same kind of bike his dad does. :-) Anyone have opinions about Diamondback?

You might want to think about one of these.

I've gone both ways on this, working from pretty much the same motivation as you with my intent, frankly, being in large part wanting the more modern look.

I put a new fork and a threadless headset into an old Ibis and it worked fine but cost me some money and didn't have any functional advantage over the adapter approach I took on a Giant Rincon of the same vintage. If I were doing it again I'd probably shell out the $20 for an adapter and the $15 for a 1 inch headset and I'd see if that got me where I wanted, because if it didn't I could always go back and do a 1 1/8 fork...

Thanks for the kind words all.

In case anyone wants to use the wheels with a 8/9/10 speed Shimano drivetrain, you would only need one of these $7 spacers: https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-11-Speed-1-85mm-Low-Spacer/dp/B00BO4X1SE

120mm with adjustable pressure for $120... That's less than several solid forks I was looking at a while back.

I don't wish to be rude to you because you're just stuck in the middle of this, but my counter is that he's flat-out lying.

Kestrel complete bike on Amazon - $1200

Fuji complete bike at Performance - $1250

Basic no-name carbon frame/fork on Amazon - $450

And now I'm going to bow out of this with as much grace as I have left. I get the feeling that he's trying to justify greed by any means possible, and that doesn't require my involvement. Sorry again that you got roped into this.
