(Vintage content; maybe these could be used to replicate the Regina or Everest Ti chains on vintage tricky super light bikes?) Looks like manufacturing is "temporarily suspended" as they imply on another page of their web site:
"ViKing International, Inc. is currently developing and preparing to re-manufacture and market its "super quality" titanium, high performance bicycle chain. ViKing is investigating the use of cold-drawn, titanium material used to produce the chain's inner and outer side plates. ViKing has determined that its titanium chain, in relation to indexing derailleur systems compatibility, will require that the chain's width be narrower in order to function with all index derailleur systems.
To complete this redesign and development phase, your interest in purchasing a chain and your input and assistance in defining the requirements of a titanium chain are important to ViKing. If you currently own a chain, ViKing is also interested in knowing the level of performance and satisfaction you have experienced. "
