Does anyone have any ideas to what might be causing it to shake, could it be down to me being off balance, wheel balancing, headset tension etc??? i'm lost here and was quite scared at the time?

From what I've heard, it's "normal" for bikes to start to wobble after a certain speed (although that differs from bike to bike). While there may be some problems with the wheels, etc, the best thing to do is clamp the frame between your legs (you will probably find it hard to go faster though as you can't pedal) and loosening up your grip on the handlebars.
If you type "bicycle/bike wobble" AND "high speeds," in google or the search here, you'll find at least several answers.

Is your bike new? Check for what the other guys said first. If your bike is new and your not used to the handling of it, you might find your frame has too much flex. I had a custom frame built once. It was like a coke can. I would get speed wobbles at high speed, and it would flick me off line whilst going through corners!

i have a 100mm easton 0% with scoop bars and tri bars, i was sat back on the seat if i recal but i have noticed that it is doing pretty much the same thing when i brake lightly with the front brake it feels like it has become unstable and thus wobbling, hopefully i can correct it before spring i'm thinking that maybe the headset bearings need changing and the headset pressing tighter.
but saying that it could be the tyres, since they are spares of my training wheels, maybe i should just try to remain under 50mph since i have no problems there.
when aero bladed spokes loosen and twist out of position could they cause it to shake since they wouldn't cut the air as they are mean't too???
