About 7 months ago I inherited a Scott road bike from my cousin which I've used 5 days a week since and rode it like I stole it, a couple weeks ago it's started making this cracky creaky sound but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I assumed it was my saddle since I had a crash on that about a year ago and the rails were a bit bent but I've just replaced it with a newish fizik and the sound remains. I can recreate it when I twist the saddle side to side and it sounds as if it's coming from either the seat stay/top tube join or maybe the bottom bracket but I'm less sure of that. I can't see any cracks at all. It's an Alu frame and has been ridden many thousands of miles before I've added my few K on it.
How likely is it to snap in half and kill me/impale me in the bum?
Any ideas what else it could be?
