Can someone recommend a good resource for getting a neglected bike back into riding condition? What tools I need, what sort of parts I should check if they need replacement, so on? (kbin.social)

One of my biggest bicycle mistakes was selling the 90s Schwinn Frontier my parents bought me when i was a kid because the components were rusty and I wanted something with skinny tires. That bike could take a lot of punishment and would have made a great commuting and touring bike.
