Unterhousen, thank you for attaching the picture for me. I tried that and it didn't work for me either! Maybe I just need to find a 12 year old to show me what I'm doing wrong.

Anyway, i will go ahead and at least post a lInk to gallery pictures of my bamboo build:

I don't know which bike I like best. Both ride like a dream and soak up bumps and vibration equally well, while being very stiff.

I wont bore everyone with build details, but I will gladly answer any questions anyone has.

Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks on the hardwood bike. I hope you like the bamboo version also.

Paul
