I've just had a thought, when they built the bike the chainring was on the inside position, which gave a sub-optimal chainline for the higher gears, so I asked them to swap it to the outside position.
Try as I might I cannot recall it making any noise before the ring was swapped.
Would chainring bolts which are not torqued down enough give the symptoms and noise I outline above?
