whilst looking for an aero seat tube for the composite TT bike i'm (hopefully) going to build, i noticed that easton sells scandium alloy tubes used in high-end mountain and road bikes.the selection is very limited, but if you absolutely have to scratch that scandium itch, here's a trustworthy* place. they also manufacture components made from carbon nano-tubes, but i don't see any tubing made of CNTs...yet.
