Bamboo frames have been discussed here before, and the consenus, I think, was that bamboo lacked the stiffness needed for a uni frame. Unlike a bike, a uni is subjected to all sorts of rotational force when we pedal, or so it was written in some dark corner of this forum. Apparently UDC was even going to [start production](https://unicyclist.com/t/intuitive-design-in-unicyclery-help-seeking-forum/116161/19) at some bamboo bike frame company in Taiwan, but then decided it wasn’t feasible.
