If you wish to go absolutely bare-bones (ie small enough to fit in that little space above the battery), pack the following:
4, 5, 6mm allen key
8, 10, 12, & 13mm combination wrench (box/open)
combination screwdriver (w/double ended shaft)
3' of ss wire
small roll of duct tape (roll it yourself to keep it small)
compact vise grip
small canvas tool roll
That should get you through the worst of things, save a flat tire. For a flat some folks just carry along "Fix A Flat", but I prefer to carry a proper kit:
2 each 11" long tire irons
a patch kit
valve core removal tool
rim buttons (for holding the bead from slipping back on the rim)
compact bicycle pump
axle wrench
The flat kit only comes along on trips away from town. Otherwise, the cell phone will get me home. In time, you may find some elegant little tools that work better than the above. For example, I have some old tool that consists of an Allen key with 8mm and 10mm sockets that fit on each end. There is no tool in my kit that is more convenient or used more often...
