these are the frames. the site is kinda dodgy and hasn't been updated in a few years, but the info is there.

the frames are extruded tubing, a combo of ovalized and round, welded beautifully. the alloy is 94% magnesium and the metal is derived from saltwater! supposedly they worked on the manufacturing, alloying, extruding and welding for a long time. only one or two groups in the world have worked this all out.. the litech guys and a South African company who now supplies Paketa.
People are resistant to new things, and without a slick marketing campain, one or two companies surely aren't going to make much of a splash in a market that is filled with highly engineered marvels like 853 steel, hydroformed aluminum, and exotic monocoque CF. Unless this magnesium frame was ALOT better in some regard, or the company had the marketing department to make people believe it was, the MG frame will remain an obscure novelty. They almost made it big time when Specialized almost picked up Litech Magnesium frames for their s-works M5 line (mtb) but the project wax nixed becasue of cable routing issues!! yes... a shame. its good to hear that specialized has their eyes open for new technology at least!!

I got a 54cm road frame two weeks ago from a guy who imported and rebadged/painted these litechs a few years ago. (got it on ebay) its very light, the welds are perfect, and it comes with a gold coating that prevents corrosion. I got mine powdercoated clear just recently and have almost everything I need to build it up..

the frames are constructed very well I can tell you that. as for the ride, I cant say yet. all reviews seem to be positive, but most bike reviews are.

anyone else with real experience abord one of these?

ill bump the thread with any info once the machine is rideable!
