Word. That's how I did the Nishiki, except I put my component-specific freezer bags in a plastic bucket and I didn't label them. Then when I started re-assembling it all, I had fun guessing. "Lesseenow, did this come from the bottom bracket, the front axle or the rear freewheel?" :-)
I guess I worry about having too many buckets lying around. I'd probably have to make a bucket list.
