When I google it I get results for deore and acera.
For the tires, alot of people won't, from the number of posts you have, would take it to be your first, with the questions being asked. For your saddle, that indicates bad setup, simple as that, 29 years of bad setup, there is angled, but that is extreme. For the cranks, you really haven't looked hard for the model number, it will be stamped in to the rear of the crank, round the hole for the pedal, same for the cassette, this will have the specs on the lock ring.
