Important action to build up a titanium bike frame

A lot of titanium frames and parts are available up for auctions.
A very important thing to do when you are building up a bike with a
titanium frame and/or titanium parts is to use "copper grease" as Anti
seize.
Titanium has the tendancy to cold weld itself when in contact with
other Titanium parts. Also happen with Aluminium and steel parts.
So, whenever you mount something in contact with Titanium remember to
use Anti seize Copper grease. Normal grease is better than nothing but
does not protect you from seizing parts.
