I would just like to say that after reading the archived section on
magnesium frames ie Kirk frames, that i owned both of them, one was
stolen in a burglary and i still have the Kirk revolution frame intact
in the shed. i expect jibes but thats ok as i was very happy with the
construction and unlike other users had no prolbems with the frames at
all.

Let's see you had 2 Kirk Magnesium frames, of which, one was stolen and the
other is "intact" in the shed. That about says it all. As I have stated,
DON'T RIDE IT! Just about every example that has been made, and USED, broke.
The best place for these frames is in the shed. The only other place for one
of these ugly frames is in a "museum", like here:

Remember those Magnesium wheels that Mongoose was using in the 1970s?
Motomags was the name of them, and I nearly broke my neck from breaking one
of them. Magnesium makes a great laxative, but not very good bike parts.
