    You shouldn't need to do any major assembly.

    As far as I know, you only usually have to attach the frame to the
    wheel, the seatpost and seat into that, and put the pedals in (pump the
    tyre up).

    Basic tools like allen keys and spanners are usually what you need.

    I keep my spanners in the boot of my car.

    For those across the pond, that translates to "I keep my wrenches in
    the trunk of my automobile."

    you will most likely need:

    4,5,6,8 mm allen keys
    10 and 14mm spanners
    pump

    Unis from UDC come with comprehensive insturctions. About the only
    thing you can get really wrong is putting the wheel backwards in the
    frame. Make sure that the pedals L/R marking is the same as on the
    crank you fix it to, and that your right foot ends up on the right
    pedal.

    UDC also threw in a couple tools with my last order (Nimbus ISIS), so
    everything I needed was right in the box. Perhaps they do this when you
    buy a uni from them now?

    You'll get hurt if you don't land it.
