I've already started a tool kit collection and recently got an awesome repair stand by ParkTool. This time I want to know the ins and outs of my bike so I can make all the repairs myself. I'm tempted to simply purchase one of these premade bikes, but I hated how I always had to take my old bike in for tune ups because I didn't know how anything on it worked.

My bike was kind of a cheapo ($700) and really could just barely handle the terrain we were riding. I haven't ridden for a few years so i had to take my bike in for a major tune up before the trip.
