Well, I've finally done it. I've joined bamboo to metal. Someday maybe I'll tell the story of my adventures trying to drill hardened steel, and how I wound up with three 3/16" drill bits. But I slid one end of a 5/8" dowel into a bamboo pole, and the other into the tube of the bike, where it fit snuggly. Drilled twice through both ends. Took it apart, smeared the dowel with JB Weld (epoxy), put it back together and bolted it fast. It's permanently joined, now.
What I actually connected was the rear half of the rear bike triangle with the support poles.
