Have you tried swapping the wheel(s) out anyway to see if it sorts it?
If it’s not the wheels might be worth checking frame alignment

Anything fitted to the wheel like a reflector (or something much cooler) that would add weight to one point on the wheel? I was surprised recently by how much an unbalanced bike wheel can shift its weight around when lifting the bike up and spinning it by hand.

Friend’s 1sp Cinelli has a ‘wobble’ feeling in the rear wheel when riding. I haven’t been able to isolate the issue or the circumstances, but it’s mainly when free-wheeling and it feels like the wheel were shaped like a wavy washer instead of a circle. Any ideas?
Hub and bearings are good;
axle isn’t bent;
locknuts are tight;
frame isn’t cracked,
clincher tyre is seated and inflated properly;
rim is straight and aligned in the dropouts.
Only thing I can think of is the spoke tension, but I don’t have a measuring tool for them and they all feel/sound ok.
