Annoying creaking sound

Hi guys, I have this annoying creaking sound, thats driving me nuts.

I think its the saddle, but I have tried changing 3 saddles, and greased the
seat post and the saddle connector, but still there is this creaking sound.
If I stand and pedal it stops, so I am thinking it must be the saddle or
seat area.
Its a good quality Giant MTB.
Any suggestions please, before I go nuts.
Cheers

rigid or dually rear end

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

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 fo
sending two wheels in boxes from Melbourne to Wodonga (actually jus
outside Wodonga)? I have a guy interested in my Mavic CrossRocs but h
wants to know how much postage is. I used DHL guessing 3kg, 70x70x20c
and it will cost $170!!! That's 1/3 the price of the wheels! An
cheaper couriers
