When it shimmies at all speeds and doesn't dissipate when touching the top tube it is usually from what I've seen .. a:] Headset (either adjustment or worn out) b:] alignment (check forks If it was when loaded then moving loads etc would usually fix it.
My experience with front loads is different than Patricks. My wife's Atlantis and my Bombadil handle 30 to 40 lbs with low riders beautifully ... My quickbeam does well with 5 to 10 lbs even on high speed down hills. We've both been very happy as well with the handling fully loaded going up hill at slow speeds.. slow cadence in 24x36 one handed while drinking coffee on a long climb. My point being there is something wrong that in my opinion can be fixed with some repair in your case if it happens loaded unloaded etc. It's not something to just accept. The only shimmy I would put up with would be a free handed shimmy that goes away instantly when touching the top tube at certain speeds only or when induced.
