It also occurs to me that most people probably don't know what the hell us tall riders are talking about, since you've not ridden these really tall steel frames before. To try to explain it better, as I am riding along in a straight line, it takes very little effort applied at the handlebar to set up a fairly dramatic front end shimmy in the frame. I can clearly see the head tube and top tube bending left and right when I get this going. It gets annoying/uncomfortable in the situation where you are going pretty fast and have to make a quick steering adjustment. I've had 5 different steel frames of various makes that were 62cm and larger and they have all been like this.
