I have ridden for years and years and only recently have I realized that, for me, proper width is the key. Give me just about any saddle that is 130mm wide and I will be
comfortable with almost no pain.
I spent a small fortune on a 100mm gel Sella Italia that hurt like the dickens after 20 miles, then I bought a bike that had a less expensive 130mm saddle and did a century the first week, no issues.
It was an eye opener for me and I could not believe no one ever stressed proper width to me.
Good luck with it my friend, really, a good feeling seat will solve so many problems.
