Machka - I think the bike's et up OK, but I'll check the link you sent to make sure, thanks. The "sit bones" are the issue, that and support. I injured myself nearly a year ago, haven't ridden since, and it I rub the area (left side, right on top of the "sit bone" on that side), it's STILL a bit sore. I had a decent saddle which I'd probably put about 1,000 miles on, without a problem. I have a Terry Liberator "Y" saddle, similar to this one http://www.performancebike.com/bikes...551_1032481_-1 The injury happened with no padding in the shorts. I'm so desperate, I actually went to Walmart & bought one of these monster "Granny seats", though I haven't ridden with it yet http://www.amazon.com/Bell-GelTech-U.../dp/B000667LV4 It's a cheap POS which will probably wear out fast, but it is much wider & with gel pads. I really want to get back to riding! Any more suggestions appreciated!
