Yep, I too lusted after one in the early nineties.
I was seriously considering one of those or a Pro-Flex for a while.
I'd imagine that they (alpinestars) would be pretty flexy with those stays. Mind you - I did own a pro-flex (856, the last year of the elastomer shock I think, could be wrong) and whilst I loved it to bits, that could hardly be described as the laterally stiffest frame!
