If it had enough scandium in it to make much of a difference the frame would cost $75000 in raw material
B0N0R-
I think even a small amount makes a fair amount of difference to the properties of the frame. Enough to term the alloy as scandium or magnesium respectively. #Justsayin

Yeah, but the frame doesn't
sayclaim it's made out of scandium, the sticker reads scandium 7000. If, as the wikipedia article suggests, scandium has an actual significant function in the alloy, then I don't see how it's just a marketing gimmick. Whether it makes any difference for my use is another matter, but I think that's generally besides the point, and particularly for this topic :)
