UPDATE:
Well it turns out that I had a defective tire causing all the vibration! It would become more evident at higher and lower speeds. But not in the middle speeds. Just vibrating on that frequency. I had the tires warrantied, and no more problems! Finally smooth riding!

So there's your update. All fixed

HEY JAMAR WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU HAD A FROZEN CALIPER PISTON DO YOU MEAN THAT WHEN YOU STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND LET GO THE BRAKES DIDNT RETRACT? I THINK I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES, THE FRONT CALIPERS ARE BRAKING BUT ARENT RETRACTING LIKE THEIR SUPPOSE TO AND ITS CAUSING MY BRAKES TO SQUEAK LIKE HELL.
