2 options (sorry for no pictures)
buy a seat security cable (the thin short ones). Loop it around the seat tube, pass it through the saddle rails, pass the seat post through the free end, fix the saddle to the seat post, insert the seat post into the seat tube, coil it around the seat post by rotating the whole seat post until all slack is taken up, set seat post to desired height, tighten all bolts, using silicone bathroom sealant fill all bolt heads.
adjust the seat post and saddle to the desired height, loop a short length of bicycle chain through the saddle rails and under the top tube (cross bar), using a chain tool join the bicycle chain
