Hi Ian,
I'll ask the obvious question - did she add any (heavy) accessories to the bike?
Read the section about the Police bike wobble problem in Greg Field's book about
this. It seems some Loopframes are weight distribution sensitive. Adios amigos!

3 Ambos and more parts all the time

It occures at higher speeds. Not too much other info than that. What She can say is that it only appeared recently and she didn't notice a problem during her 2000 miles trip this past summer. When I was probing around on the bike everything appeared to be ok (tire pressure, spokes, rear drive, ujoint etc...) but I did notice that the swing arm was a bit loose where it ties into the frame (at the pivot bearing). I am going to have a look at the bearings and spacers to see if they are cracked, repack the bearings and set the swing arm right. I am wondering if you think that the loose swing arm could have caused the wobble?
