Herbie, there are articles littering the 'net about it. Was just doing my due diligence :-)
Keep in mind every bike no matter what material is build with a purpose. Carbon, Steel, Ti can all be built to what you are looking for. They can all be built light and stiff or heavy and forgiving but none will inherently be a wobbly bike
