Greets John,

No, it's the stock saddle.  It's definitely coming from the spring/swing
area, it's a squeak when hitting a bump or railroad tracks (or bouncing
fast) and a creak when mounting/dismounting the bike.  

I'm wondering if the bolts at the swing arm could be over torqued, I was
going to loosen and check until I started distrusting my torque
wrench...at 5Nm it was going way too tight.  But that may be due to them
being less than accurate at the lower ends of the their scales.

Still puzzled,
