Scandium alloy bicycle frames.
This is especially valuable in high strength aluminum like 7005.
This means that the properties of the alloy are less likely to be affected by heat treatment and welding so a scandium infused aluminum alloy is less likely to crack while cooling.
Whilst other manufacturers focus has been on carbon we believe that by putting the same development into alloy tubing we have created a frame that rivals carbon in.
We have put everything we have learned during the last 17 years of alloy frame design and manufacture into this completely new and very advanced scandium alloy road bike frame.

There are some more exotic alloys including scandium and lithium in limited use which aim to reduce frame weight even further.
Most likely just a cost issue.
The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle and consists of two triangles.

I have two mountain bikes with scandium frames and they are substantially lighter and more expensive than my aluminum framed bikes.
In practical use the different alloys will be indistinguishable though 7005 is slightly cheaper to work with as it requires less overall processing.
A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle onto which wheels and other components are fitted.
Scandium also interrupts melted aluminum crystalizing at a molecular level when the metal cools.
Frames are required to be strong stiff and light which they do by combining different.
