Paketa Custom Cycles is one of America`s premier custom frame builders; they are located in North Denver, Colorado. They produce beautiful, fun to ride bicycles that are fast and comfortable. Visit their website at www.paketabike.com. Contact JP at the factory with any questions. Some interesting information paraphrased from their web site:
Magnesium is the lightest structural metal currently available in the world. It’s approximately 34% lighter by volume than aluminum and 50% lighter than titanium. Besides light-weight construction, a few of the other advantages that magnesium offers are: excellent fatigue resistance, denting and buckling resistance, and the highest known damping capacity of any structural metal. The result is a much smoother ride than any other material out there.
It’s no secret amongst the inner sanctum of bicycle fame builders and designers around the world that magnesium could make an amazingly rideable, high-performance bicycle. First, though, a few key issues needed to be overcome: how to extrude the perfect magnesium tubes, weld these tubes correctly, and fine-tune the ride qualities. Following four years of intensive research and lots of hard work on the drawing board and in the shop, we have done just that. [Paketa Bicycles]
