Building my own road bike (bamboo, too)?

I guess you could say that I'm a cycling enthusiast. I'm 17, and I cycle every weekend. I love it, and I love my bike. I have a cervelo S1, and by the way, it rides like a dream. :)
Anyway, I have recently become interested in building my own bike. I want to kind of have a little DIY project that I can do over the summer. I want to start out with a draft, and really formulate it and make a good, useable bike. ( i'm also really considering making a bamboo road bike)

Do you know any books that i can use to help me out? I found "Designing and Building Your Own Frame Set" but it's out of print and the copies go for 100+ dollars

Do any of y'all have other resources I could possibly use?
