I think some alluminuim frames just creak a bit!

Silly question (or so it might seem), but did you grease the threads on the bb if Euro or grease the bearing cups if US?  I ask as sometimes this can cause the creaking.  on Alloy frames the headset cups can also cause the same problem and make it sound like the BB or cranks as the creak resonates down the tubes  :-\ .

Rooonga:
yeh - euro bb. all greased nicely!

Made no difference.
