Sorry you had that experience. Glad you seem to be OK. I had a Coppi steel frame that I loved. However, it wobbled on high speed descents (40 plus mph) too frequently for my comfort. I was always able to regain control by doing what you alluded to - knees gripping top tube, up off the saddle and loosen the arms and shoulders - but I got to where I feared descending on it. That was enough for me to strip it to build a bike on another frame and retire the old girl. Knock on wood, none of my bikes since, have had any similar problems. Good luck. Stay safe.
