Have him take a hard look at the steering head bearings, their easy to take out and inspect, you may just need new bearings, use a light and look at the races, if there's any kind of a indentation replace them, might be a good idea to just replace them and be done with it.
front tires and their effects on wobbling at "high" speeds
- Thread starter tire
- Start date

More than a few somebodies did including me. The three bicycle shops I worked in required you to put the wheel reflectors opposite the valve stem and quite a few customers whom I would guess had bought there bicycles from one of those other shops who randomly placed the wheel reflectors anywhere they felt like also complained about discomfort at high speed until the wheel reflectors were moved or discarded. These were usually people with the lightweight bicycles who rode many miles. Some including myself refuse to use wheel reflectors. The problem is only noticeable at high speed.
Yep- if it changes direction of natural steer- then that sounds like headset bearings- try some new balls.
once the rear deck is welded and saddle bags mounted i'll take it to a good bike shop in town and have the guy diagnose it.
