Hopefully Brant can provide you with a photo.
I'll ask my friend Bob too.
That would definitely account for the flexing!

Sorry, mine was loaded yesterday and is heading to Santa Fe, New Mexico. I can provide images next week.

I would recommend that you join the V-CC here in the UK.
The Pedersen reference material alone would make it worth your while.
Here's a link:

Join

Membership of the Club is open to anyone with an interest in cycle history. Although there is no obligation to take part in club events, or even to own a cycle, there are many advantages to be gain…

The study guide with the article I mentioned above does mention that all of the tubes are in compression.

And if you are not already a member, please join the Facebook NVCC Dursley Pedersen group

Thanks for the suggestions re: V-CC, I will look into that.
As for the Faceborg group, I do realize I am missing out on a lot here but I still refuse to sign up or have anything to do with them. Cutting off my nose to spite my face...etc. -I get it, but IHMO the bad there outweighs the good.
Again, thanks to you both for the responses.
