Gotta be either out of true or out of balance. I need to true my K1 wheels again, I have a similar slight bounce or shake at about the same speed. Had it once before and truing the wheels fixed it. Seemed like this started after hitting a monster pothole, I tightened some loose spokes and did the best quick and dirty I could on the bike, which improved it, but I need to put the wheels on the stand and get them right.

Here's a routine I can advise to all of you. Whenever you are to renew a tyre, have a close inspection of the rim's inside. It's not unusual to see rust build up on the inner sides of the rim, where the tyre's rim sit. This can lead to a tyre not properly seated. So always inspect the rim's inside (edges) before putting on a new tyre and remove eventual rust. You can use a (sharp) screwdriver and a wire brush.
