How hard is it to get one

A twin flex bike

Was there any other rear suspension bike built during those times?

Talk to member 37fleetwood. He is the resident expert on them. And I hope you have your checkbook handy when you go to buy.

Wasn't somebody just trying to sell one over at the Cabe, Alex?

I wasn't asking to buy one right now. Just wanted to know if I hit the lotto tonight where do I go to buy one. How much was it? Are there any other rear suspension bikes from that era?

That's a good question. The Twin-Flex variants seem to get credit for being the only dual suspension bike of the era, HOWEVER, I think there was at least one other that qualifies.
Take a look at the Monark Flo-Cycle, the rear triangle was shaped using elongated loop tails and then affixed to the crank housing with a wide, flat piece of metal. This allows the bike to retain its lateral rigidity, but exhibit a mild suspension quality.
