I have a ti frame, seatpost, stem, handlebars, pedal axels and various bolts (all ti on ti except the axels). I used ti prep on them last year when I reassembled my bike. Do I have to reprep from time to time to prevent perma-sieze?

In practise I've found practically every part of my bike gets taken off at least once a year. I just regrease or coat with anti-seize at that point.

I think you can leave most anything for about two years, unless you ride in lots of muck. The exception to this being the BB unit. I'd remove it, clean the threads in the bracket, and ti-prep the thing every year, just to be on the safe side.
