Which model? Seems there are plenty of versions of this one and even a couple I would not mind riding. Saddles and I am afraid you have some pain to go yet. The original saddle may not be the best around but you have a new butt to get attuned to riding. No matter what saddle you have on it right now- with that tender butt that you have it would hurt. Cure is simple- get the mileage in and between rides allow time for the butt to harden up. If it still hurts after your 3rd 50 mile ride- then think about getting a new one.
