Thats a 1992 model in that picture. A 1990 would not have elevated stays.

I think that might be the one... It's the guy in Apeldoorn right?

Should be either this all black model, or maybe the well-known white/black model (but I think those were 1992 models?).

Anyway, go pick it up and show us!!! Always loved those early AlpineStars

Looks fun, but be prepared you buy total junk and it is cracked

Yeah that's the white/black one... too bad they crack so easily, because it's really one of the coolest bikes around! I remember having my nose up against the window at the LBS who had this one and one of those polished one in the shop. Soooooo way out of my budget back when I was 16 y.o.

CroMega is the only sane way to go here... then Ti and finally, as a last resort (and only after consulting Gypsy Rose Lea), an Al Mega... :roll:

You are right, unfortunatley the al megas were fragile - I broke a few - I actually broke a TI Mega as well, but it was the subject of some serious abuse. !!!

Mr K

if i am correct; first of all; the alu is not the one i should go for ?
Second; these frames crack
third; this is not the elevated frame ? The one i would like to own ?
