Interesting. It might be possible to make a 'hybrid' version of this bike by taking a regular steel/Al frame, chopping out most of the top tube, down tube and chainstay tubes (to leave a short butt at each welded end) and replacing the missing lengths with identically sized hickory inserts.
 
I remember one of my neighbours in the 60s who rode track had a bamboo framed race bike.
 
knowing my luck the thing would get woodworm,or dry rot.

look good though i have saved the site to have a proper read later.
