I too had a comfort bike and went to a road bike at 66 yro and every time I rode over 30 miles I had pain. I tried 5 different saddles but one of my friends kept saying "How many miles do you have?" " It's not your saddle it's your ass"
Sure enough after about 1500 miles the pain went away and now at 12,000 miles I'm pretty comfortable on the road bike and I average about 150 miles a week. By the way I'm 6'4" and I'm down to 260lbs.
