There I was thinking that I was special :P
That's another good one, I'll read through it in more detail at some point :) I find it a bit odd that he chose to keep his seat tube as metal, then cut it out and bond bamboo. Another method for the same effect I saw was to use a bamboo seat tube, but insert a metal part and glue it with epoxy and high density filler etc. Either way, I can't use his method because the seat tube on my frame is the reason it is scrap!
