Which is why elevated stay bikes used bigger diameter tubing to support the BB...downhill bikes have used unsupported BB's for years with no problem.
A skinny tubed frame with chainstays will still have more BB flex than an elevated stay bike with large diameter tubing.
Seemed to work fine for Graham Obree. :)
