I just came across this and I have to say that this will probably be my first jig.

what I like is how adjustable it is and the variety of styles of frame you could build with it. seems to be just the ticket for bamboo bike building at a killer price, $349.99
 
Just as I want to mention how much cheaper building your own would be, I read these talking about maybe $200 for the parts, so maybe the labor saving IS worth the $100. Maybe you get a tshirt with yours.

Cool, this would be the approach I would really concider if I were to build a frame.
