ARP ti bike 96-98 unsure build update 3/06/10

and without any futher adoo i unveil my almost finished ti project i know very little about arp other than they had this frame made and its well made and is 17" with a 22" top tube so i dicided to build it up with a 96-98 blend of parts and some red and blue ano nuts and bolts and some x-lite parts (as i had an x-lite fettish in high school).

i got the frame from dave 2 months back and it had a stuck seatpost peice but after 10mins of fiddling i got it out with a long puller i had in the workshop.
