- a decent vice and some quality engineering measurement tools,the expensive bits are bb tap,fork crown race cutter, seat and head tube reamers or a nice local bike shop/builder who will do all that for you.A jig should only be used for setting up and tacking the tubes and is absolutely not necessary to build a decent frame but will make it a lot quicker and easier.Not worth investing in for a once in a blue moon one off.
