I normally don’t respond to zombie threads being resurrected by a newbie, however, this case merits an exception. Are you seriously asking that speed wobble on a bicycle is a new phenomenon attributed to modern bicycle design! When in reality, modern bicycles are orders of magnitude more stable than bikes of the past.
