Scandium frames are usually $700+ new w/o a fork.
Deda builds these in Italy and will label it with whatever you like...
The Ragatz/Wells Fargo team frames were not scandium. They were Deda aluminum. The ones with the black box rear ends were actually built to the rider's specs. The team existed in 2003. It fell apart early and then they tried to run a tri team for a bit but there were a lot of shady deals going on (with both the road and tri teams) so that fell apart as well.
