    I was under the impression that an aluminium/carbon mix gave you the best of both worlds. Stiffness in the main triangle and chainstays for effective power transmission and some give in the fork and dropouts for shock absorbtion. I thought that was roughly the idea anyway.

    Scandium (a form of Al)
    Cheeky

    Uh!
    Scandium is a group 4 element whereas aluminium is in group 13.
    It's like saying an apple is a form of orange.
    Sorry for being pedantic.
