Wheel flop?  If there is such a thing. Sounds like the way I've heard it
described.

But all Bleriots have wheel flop, and it doesn't change and become more 
or less pronounced.   This sounds to me like a headset problem.

maybe it was a worn headset, but the symptoms don't seem to

worsening.
Any ideas about what might be causing this problem?

[RBW] Bleriot with Middle Ear Problem?

[Joe Bernard]

This is probably a silly question, but does the front tire have enough air? 
What you're describing sounds like a tire flopping back and forth on the rim. 
Low tire pressure - especially on a big-ish tire - can still look rideable 
until it's almost completely flat.

[RBW] Bleriot with Middle Ear Problem?

[Kevin Lindsey]

My Bleriot has begun acting strangely in that I can feel it "wandering" 
underneath me, as if the front wheel were loose and pointing a little bit 
this way, then a little bit that, and generally acting like it was losing 
its sense of balance.  The condition was so noticeable yesterday that I 
stopped more than once on my commute and checked to make sure that the 
steering and wheel were both secure (they seemed to be OK when I held the 
wheel with my knees and tried to jiggle the handlebars).  I thought maybe 
it was a worn headset, but the symptoms don't seem to match.  The bike's 
still rideable, but this condition seems to be worsening.
Any ideas about what might be causing this problem?  
Thanks,
Kevin
