So what's up with that Azonic AZ-7 frame? Can't seem to find much info on it.. and almost no reviews. Anyone know anything about it?

"The 2007 Azonic AZ-7 Frame is an all new XC Hardtail frame made of XTROLITE-G7 material. Lighter & stronger than traditional aluminum frames. The 2007 Azonic AZ-7 Frame weighs only 2.10lbs for a 16.5" frame!"

Know nothing about the frame, but the link you posted claims a weight of 1230g or 2.71#, not 2.10.

I'm weary of "new" alloys, and you know the old adage about light, strong, cheap. This guy appears to be light and cheap and we know nothing about strength.
