Twitchy steering..?

I ride a 1947 Hobbs and found the steering poor with a short stem ,putting a longer one on (4 1/2 inch) seems to have improved things no end and my weight distribution is better.

I'd put the handling down to the betterweight distribution (IMHO).

I've always thought carbon forks were the stiffest thing, are they not?

Should be pretty compliant, especially in combination with a steel frame.
