hmm, well. i used some phylostachys aurea, which is very similar to the phylostachys nigra that allenG is using. I also got some dendrocalmus strictus from yucatan, this is known as iron bamboo, it really is very hard and stiff. i used this for the chainstays and top tube, hoping to add some stiffness to the bike. and it is pretty stiff withouth loosing the road vibration dampening.
as for the process, i got all the info i could online and looked at calfee´s and daedalus's bikes for hours, went on bambooforurs, etc. and then just winged it.
i used the only polyurethane resin available in my area, used here for doing body work on cars and making the animals for children's carrousels. it gets very hard.
