Great idea...I'm currently doing this with my little 'Jack of Hearts' Book...

Na, when I open the door to the man cave and see 10 riders all stood there, I forget about the cash, I also think about how much I've pissed up the wall over the years, I forget about it then too.  :daumenhoch:

I think if I went down your route Dan I'd be in the above position and horrified at the money I've spent to complete a build....so best not to start :LolLolLolLol:
I'd say most of my builds have been factory or rider specs so  I've found lists of parts already made... I then seem to memorise these and see which parts turn up and what my budget is each month... Some months I go mad, others I'll focus on the cheaper bits like chains, headsets, bolts, etc :daumenhoch:
Each to their own though mate... Part of the joy of a build is in the planning and being meticulous about what you want :smitten:

I've got a Word doc I use like a check list. State which parts I need, maybe with a couple of options here and there, when I get the parts I just delete them. It helps me remember what I need as my builds take so bloody long and I've got more than one on the go.

I also use an Excel doc for parts bought and sold :crazy2:

Unfortunately I have to function this way or it feels like my world descends into chaos :-[
