theshoemaker, was there any difference in head angle between the 52 and the 54 on the bike you were riding? I've noted a difference in handling going from 73 to 72.5 degrees, so perhaps a different head tube length, head angle or fork rake contributed to the twitch as well...
No difference. ...Frame geometry and fork are identical. they're both 06 Treks. The old is a 2100 and the new is a 2200. The diff is with the components. I should say that I tested several bikes during the process before I really started to understand the situation fully.
