Great point about clamping the bamboo, in fact before I took that shot I hesitated and thought about it. I decided for this pic I would just gently clamp it for the shot. I think once it's built out I will just use the seat tube.
I have the same bike repair stand. I think the jaws on the clamping mechanism are soft rubber and are not suppose to damage the frame if you do not clamp too hard; but I could be wrong. I typically clamp onto the top tube since the bike is just resting on the clamp and doesn't require much pressure to hold the bike in place.
