I have discovered a rather large amount of vertical play in the main hinge between the two frame halves, I'd guess 0.5-1mm - it's almost like the "ears" for the hinge have spread somehow. The bike is ~1.5 years old, been well looked after / not been dropped / crashed etc - kept clean and lubricated. I think this is the source of creaking I have been trying to get to the bottom of.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? What would be the solution - I am going to head into Brompton Junction after work today.
