i am now so close on this!! 
just waiting for the brakes to turn up in the post!! should be this week!! then i can pop my titanium cherry!!
it has m900 sti units on it now and the gears are set up, i'm tempted to ride it around the block without brakes but i don't think that would be wise!!

woke up at 12.30 today to the sound of some pillock outside with a chainsaw! was not happy since i'd only got in from a nightshift at 6.30am! on the other hand i almost tripped over a jiffy bag with some m900 canti brakes in from Dr S!
after dragging my arse out of bed in a comatose state to the shower i woke up and had breakfast then went straight into the garage to start fettling the last bits of this build!
the bike was ready except for fitting the brakes so i knew it wouldn't take long.
thanks to tallpaul for the frame, fingers for the forks, Dr S for the brakes, ebay for the r/mech and handlebars and headset and sti's, and i can't for the life of me remember who i got the wheels off! so if you recognise hope 217's then shout out!!
so here are the finished pics!!

i've only had a 5 minute spin round the block so far, gonna give it a spanking tomorrow!
initial impressions are that it is quite flexy! but then i am a lardy bugger!! but that suggests it will be a comfortable ride
will be losing the tyres though when something more suitable comes along, i'm not a fan of putting old tyres on my bikes (retro or modern) so i am thinking of using panaracer razer xc tyres as this will be used as more of a summer blast bike, i have other stuff to get messy in the winter! also i'll gradually find some appropriate straddle hangers and qr's in something a little more bling as and when i can.
