Mysterious Creaking

Hey there. I'm trying to identify the source of creaking on the down stroke. The bike is a single speed Kilo TT Pro. I hear the sound mainly when getting up to speed from start.

Here's what I've done:
  • Replaced the bottom bracket. (Thought this was the problem. Found it was pitted, but now it's new and thoroughly cleaned and greased.)
  • Removed and regreased the chain ring and crank bolts.
  • Cleaned and lubed the chain.
  • Removed and regreased the stem bolts.
  • Checked the threadless headset was snung.
My next thought is the Odyssey Twisted pedals. I don't feel any spindle play and they spin without issue. Not sure that's the problem, but not sure what else it could be.

Any thoughts?
