New (old) 1998 4000

Are you absolutely sure it's not your Trocho-Ginglymus Femur/Tibia Pivot (Human Mk1a) ??
It's a very old design and due for an upgrade, if only we can get manufacturer support again........

LOL I am not sure of anything at this point. Even looked at the seat stem/clamp. I'll find it just have to keep at it.

That gold center chain ring spider is swaged on.  I did find a squeaker there many years ago when wrenching at the LBS.  Cleats can squeak as well.

Does it only creak under pedalling or also when coasting?

That may narrow it down to drive train or suspension.

I've had 3 creaks on my 4000 over the last 16 years. The first was the sadle rails, second the square taper bb to crank and the third turned out to be the head bearings. All 3 creaks only happened when putting power down under peddling. The forces of peddling do strange things! Try shifting your body weight about to localise to noise as it might not be anything to do with the bb area.
