Default OT, sorta - Eyeglass frames, what alloy?

If you are rough on frames, as I am, the Flexons are
a very good deal.

Previously, a frame would last me about a year. I'd
get frequent headaches from the frame being bent.

I have 2 sets of glasses with Flexon frames. One is
about 7 years old and the other 2. The 7 year old
frame has most of the finish rubbed off, but is still
in good mechanical shape.
