Just a thought .. You mentioned earlier in the review the internal damping absorbing the road vibration. I wonder if a similar situation is happening as you get out of the saddle .. ie the wood is absorbing the pedal force and then releasing it more gently then the undamped Pista frame? .. the other way I see it is wood is a composite product so in theory you should be able to improve this by specific grain alignment .. easier said then done though I think? I've no wood working skills. But really this project is something else and the end product looks fantastic so I wouldn't care myself! Just enjoy this beautiful bike :)
