Saddle, Seatpost and Tire help

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.

Spied this:
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.

Nobody?

So basically you want us to do all the research and finding for you?

i thought there was something odd about the OP.

As I'm sure you're aware the Chain Reaction catalogue is extensive to put it lightly. I am just looking for peoples past experiences with affordable and durable seats, posts and tires with the very few stipulations I have and to have a look at the seat I posted to make me aware of any obvious flaws with it. Unlike a lot of people on this site, I can't afford to shell out on parts that turn out to be shite, I like to do as much research as possible before I buy and that's primarily based on feedback from more experienced members of boards such as this. Fixed parts are not cheap.

Edit: I understand the OP may have made me sound like I was trying to get everyone to do the work for me, but really I'm just looking for a bit of experience, feedback and direction into what to buy.

definitive lists **for the tires

on the sadle I think you're just going to have to buy it and see - TBH you just get used to what you use unless and unless you're doing some serious distance I don't think it maters.

Thanks for the link, yeah I think I will go for the seat, can't really go wrong at that price.

My saddle is one that was being sold off at a local bike shop for £10 (that's my idea of affordable!) Alot of bike shops near me have the saddles that come with complete bikes for sale cheap when people take them off and exchange them for an aftermarket one.

Charge spoon ftw!

selle italia flite. no contest.

my gooch will definitely contest it :P

no contest.

Haha maybe when I can afford to drop 100 billz on a seat. The Charge seat did look really nice and lots of people seem to swear by it so I will definitely be looking into that.

get a seatpost with a double bolt, it's saved me a lot of hassle.

btw it's a saddle not a seat
