I have(or had) a Rambouillet, a Marinoni, a Soma, Bilenkey, two treks, and an Ebisu. The only one that shimmies is the ebisu and then only when I let go of the handlebars completely. I am not accustomed to bikes that either shimmy or slide sideways. In 30+ tears of riding I have lifted the rear wheel off the ground in sudden stops, but never had a bike go sideways. My Marinoni is a 1988 classic stage racing frame with world championship stripes. It climbs powerfully and descends solidly. Up till yesterday the Rambouillet has had impeccable road manners. I don't think I would buy a second bike from someone who had sold me a frame with built in shimmy.
