Scandium 6061 ??
Hi
Was just about to purchase a Sintesi X-Wing XC - trible butted lightweight build of Scandium - when I came across some rumours ?? that Scandium does not keep its stifness.
Know that Kona had problems earlier - It this material hyped too much ?? Or is it just rumours.
I ride a fairly agressive XC - 92 kilograms 190 cm :confused:
Stroier - Denmark

I'm no metalurgist, but from what I know is: The material is very light, very brittle. It has a low modulus of elasticity (i.e., very stiff and when it's bent, it doesn't bend back! IT Breaks)
