Annoying creaking sound

rigid or dually rear end ?

process of elimination i guess. can you momentarily swap over with another (mate's?) seatpost/seat just to make sure its not somewhere all together else like BB, headset.
Doesnt sound likely if it goes when stomping but you never know.
Its like that sodding spider that takes up residence in the car and puts a nice little web around your RVmirror or plates.
You can kill it, but his mate just logs on an takes up the cause...

If I stand and pedal it stops, so I am thinking it must be the saddle or seat area. Its a good

Does it make the noise if you grab the seat with your hands and twist it around? Have you tried
greasing the interface between the seat clamp and the frame? In my experience creaks generally come
from the seat post rather than the saddle itself.

It's my shoes that do the creaking. Drove me nuts trying to pin it down, now I know what it is I
don't worry too much about it. They're comfy shoes :-)

Try a bong instead.

Sort of cycling content follows:
Does anyone have suggestions for sending two wheels in boxes from Melbourne to Wodonga (actually just outside Wodonga)?
I have a guy interested in my Mavic CrossRocs but he wants to know how much postage is. I used DHL guessing 3kg, 70x70x20cm and it will cost $170!!! That's 1/3 the price of the wheels! Any cheaper couriers?
