Your stem and handlebars have been cleaned and properly torqued, if I recall? The seat rails can be greased, though if they make noise, it's usually more of a creak than a tink.
Yeah I re-greased the whole steerer column and completely battered the cartridges with grease. I really don't think it's that now. was riding again last night, and started playing about whilst in motion. If I squeeze my legs in so that they catch the saddle, the noise happens. this may be because I'm jolting the handlebars (which also, if you pull or push them on a line with the top tube causes the noise). I just don't know. You think I should grease the stem clamp bolts? I greased the seat clamp yesterday (don't know why - probably as I ran out of anything else to try) but this made squat difference.
