Start your binder now. Go buy a binder, and a ton of plastic sheet document protector. From this day forward put every receipt for anything you buy in the plastic document protector, (including all your original purchase of the bike receipts, and start an XL spreadsheet to track exactly how much your running total is, what each item costs, date installed, and if you're really ambitious put a digital photo of the item in the protector as well. If you do this from ground zero, you're going to be glad you did. Keep the instruction sheets for installation on every aftermarket item in the same document protector. You'll find this to be invaluable over the following years. And when it comes time to sell, you can document every penny you've dumped into that pig. Prospective buyers love it, and you'll be amazed at how much you can dump in these things. I keep maintenance costs and service records on the spread sheet as well. Try it. Great ongoing project.
