Other options are to (1) upgrade existing gravel bike, which fits well and does have a threaded BB, or (2) to buy a PF bike and hope it doesn't creak. I'm kinda leaning to option 1, since I really don't need more stuff clogging up my life.
Couple questions/thoughts:
1) Where do you live?
2) What are you currently riding?
3) Not all PF bbs creak. My SuperX with Shimano adapters doesn't creak.
4) Campag is right, thread together BBs don't tend to creak from what I've heard.
