    This one's a) always tricky to diagnose, and b) done to death on this forum, use the 'search' box, see what turns up.

    But... try removing both wheels, thoroughly cleaning dropouts and wheel hubs, remove skewers, clean. Lightly re-grease all parts, dropouts included, reassemble.

    Cures my no-longer-a-mystery-creak every time, but I spent a fortune in time and money replacing BBs, stripping cranks, chainrings, pedals etc first.

    Swap your pedals... If the creak goes away then look at the pedals (bearings?): if it doesn't then I'd go with Jim's advice.
