I got my first Ti bike a few weeks ago and have already put about 200 miles on it. I LOVE it, I'm sure you will too. I won't clutter and hijack with a picture but it has the same finish as yours. (Warning: C&V blasphemy ahead) Rides a lot better, IMO, than my full 531 bike and my modern aluminum/CF bike and like well cared for steel bikes, the frame will still be here long after I am.
As for care, I clean it up with soap and water. Simple Green if it is really dirty (just make sure to get it off aluminum parts quickly).
Enjoy it, great catch!!
