Merida did Magnesium frames, they cracked a lot from what i found. Not saying these will, just that it's not the first time someone used magnesium as a frame material.

Those are probably just high magnesium content aluminum alloy frames. You don't do straight magnesium. As to why label it "magnesium", ask marketing...

So that frame looked welded. Are they also making welding rod? Does it machine without catching on fire? How is it with the usual mag corrosion?

See if I can get a chemical analysis on this. Burn temp at 1200 is a positive. Nice high yield for frames! Curious if it has Beryllium in it.

There are, apparently 3 different versions of the alloy. One can be welded. One can be forged. One can be machined. It doesn't combust. It melts. No idea on the welding rod.
