Well I have held the brakes fulll on and rocked the bike, but the headset seems fine. Thanks for all the advice, I will keep checking things.Dave5N said:Check the headset. Controversial but I know from experience a knackered headset can cause it to develop in a bike that was previously ok.
If the bike has always had it, try putting your knee against the top tube.
Agreed, my old (1949 ish) Holdsworth is more flexible that a very flexy thing but can still be made to descend fast without shaking it's head.yenrod said:It seems its down to ridgity :?:
I rode a 501 bike for a while and that was a bit flexible though no speed wobble.
