My original post is below. I thought it best to update this thread than clutter the forum with another one about the same frame.
The frame is now in my possession and I must say, it looks as though it has never been ridden, not even any chain slap. There is barely, and I mean barely a mark on it. I thought I'd share a few pics and also get your opinion on a few things so here goes:
The frame/pics
A pic of the disc brake mount - home brew for sure, but quite a good one as it goes. I doubt I'll be using it though.
Brake bosses are missing. I've checked my B3 frame and they are simply bolted on. Anyone upgraded the standard ones to ti bossses/bolts, or something more than just the standard steel ones?
Finally, and apologies for asking, but with the decals being yellow/blue, whar are peoples thoughts on the build? I have some purple pauls v brakes - would these work?
Not sure of the seat post size yet, but I have some titanium titec bars and stem. Did they make a matching seat post, and if so, what sort of price would I be looking at to get me one? Sad I know, but I like things to match.
I'm open to suggestions on forks and components, but I hope to use parts from my stash unless something will just be too awesome not to use. I'm still looking for that build to unlesh the lawwill leaders - is this the one or should I stick to AMP F4-BLT or F3-XC (Ti or carbon)? Or is it a bit cliche to go with Amp forks?

I believe I have just broken my own rule and rather than sell the bikes/frames/parts I'm not using, I have gone and bought a litespeed obed FS
Now I own a few amps, and know that quite a few bikes used the amp suspension rear end, but aside from that, know little more.
Does anyone have any information on these bikes to whet my appetite while I wait for it to arrive? Build advice and/or examples? Known issues/things to look for?
As a result I'm likely to be selling a couple of bikes/frames to cover my outlay, so an Amp B3 and possibly either my amplifier or B5 could also become make weights, unless I'm going crazy and am seeing things through titanium tinted goggles and my potential sales are worth keeping over the litespeed?
Please furnish me with information and opinions about any of the above.
Cheers
