I was thinking about things like items formerly made of metal made of graphene like graphene bicycle frames, a graphene floyd rose tremelo, grephene frets. Lots of other possibilities too - graphene shells for all kinds of products. Maybe even graphene circuit boards?
Of course, I thought scandium was a cool metal for things - like one of the bicycle companies made a scandium frame.
Scandium is a very light, very strong metal. It was made by the Russians to use in their ICBMs - the fins at the bottom of the missile needed to slice thru the polar icecaps on the way to destruction so the metal they came up with was Scandium.
I remember reading a review of a bike frame made with the stuff and apparently it was very light but didn't have the pitfalls of lightweight aluminum (talk to a bike racer about beercan aluminum bikes, they were about that thin and light) but the scandium frames you couldn't dent with hand pressure.
