Ti Prep or enjoy the unremovable seatpost. Pull it out every couple of months and reprep if you are riding in the rain (i pull the seat post after every rainy ride and flip the bike over to let the water drain out anyway)... some ti frame manufacturers glue a carbon sleeve in the seat tube, if that's the case then you dont need ti prep.

Many Ti frames have an aluminum insert pressed in.In any case,it would not hurt to put some anti-seize on it to be safe.
