Need a bit of help choosing a new seat and seatpost and also new tires in the near future. I'm on a tight budget but would like something slim and light(weight is not in any way a priority or stipulation though) but it has to have a "love channel", I don't know the proper term for it but I know that's what WTB saddles refer to it as and in black preferably. Seatposts are six of one, half dozen of another to me but I just need a longer one than the one that came with the conversion frame I'm using, preferably black also. I'll check the seatpost diameter in the morning, it's a Falcon Team Banana from the late eighties-early nineties if anyone can deduce it from that, which I doubt! As for tires, just looking for something cheap, relatively grippy and durable, with the emphasis on cheap and durable! Will be ordering from Chain Reaction Cycles because of the selection and to save a little on the postage(I'm in the Republic).
So yeah, any help or guidance is appreciated.

BeOne Carbon Kevlar Saddle

Looks nice, ti rails and dashings of carbon at E34.95. I suspect this may be too good to be true, anyone got any experience with it? I would prefer not to spend any more than this on a saddle.
