I recently got back onto a bike myself I went with a new Trek Marlin 6 seems to be doing me okay with the exception you have after a bit it's a tad uncomfy and get a little sore. Dropped 15 bux at walmart for a gel seat cover and it's helping me for now. I might have to go to a different saddle if when I get to riding farther distances the cover doesnt' help as much I only ride about 1/2 to 1 mile a pop right now until I get my endurance up. I'm hoping that in doing so I get used to the saddle and not quite so sore after.
