Mine now, but I hope it ends up belonging to someone else!

Nice! I like.
I would throw a coat of clear to protect against UV. Else your nice anodized swingarm will be a nice "purple" anodized swingarm in a year or so.

i say you just throw together a full out build thread... that ti frame looks awesome and i'm sure a lot of people here would be pretty interested in how it came together and how it's going to be finished off ;)

Thought,
Maybe when I get a little further along I'll start a thread. This is something I've been planning for a while and it's finally coming together...although not as quick as I had hoped. I would like to do this for a living and this is the first bike. One thing I didn't plan for(I did, but not enough) was time spent waiting on machine shop, water jet cutting, difficulty in finding the right size and wall thickness of Ti tube, ect.,ect.
  Here's a couple of pics of the jig. Also working on a mold for a CF seat/cowl.

looks awesome man... and as you can see, get working on that build thread... anytime anyone sees that much ti in one spot, we all want to see how it came together.  and then nefariously plot to steal the bike asap.  haha
