well, i figured i would post an update on the bamboo frame, so heres a pic of where im at. i built the jig using an eddy merckx corsa extra that is my size, although i will probably have the seatstays attached to the top tube, like in the picture, for better tire clerance. next step: finish mitering and fitting the tubes, then the gorilla glue! any advice on getting the alingnment prefect would be appreciated.
