For a bike frame.
Surely it just ignites in a violent fashion when it rains?
...are you not thinking of potassium?
I've never seen a potassium framed bike! That would be crap in the UK weather!
Is anyone offering Mg frames these days? I know there have been a few over the years but they don't appear to have offered any real advantages AFAICT, or maybe they were nice and light but had other problems (galvanic corrosion maybe?)
i had a mag prototype fs bike in 1999 built in russia via a dodgy middleman in rumania ,, it was very light but a bit flexi they just copied a marin fs bike from the time with all the same tube dimensions
i rode it for about a year before it cracked around the swinging arm pivot,, didnt have a problem with corrosion despite it being raw unplated ,, and as far as i rember it never burst into flames
Waht is the point of magnesium?

It's a failure hat-trick!
lol how many more of these are we going to get.
OP - you need to go look up metals again as you are getting confused about the whole rain thing.
Magnesium alloys are very light but expensive and I think more likely to crack. Most commonly used in racing car wheels.
I really wanted one of those Kirk's when they came out, luckily I never got one ๐
A Cesium frame would be best for a wizz bang in the rain ๐ฏ
Snap
I mean - I wanted one too.
but also - snap ๐
Yes aged 14 it just looked like no other bike I'd seen before, the black one looked amazing
lol.
I only got a 'c' for o=level chemistry. I must've avoided Isothermic* reactions on the question paper.
*or whatever it is
doubler
I got a U at GCSE, however I have a degree in Engineering ๐ so I wouldn't worry ๐
