Hey Saxman,
Since it's been a while and you've put on a few pounds, consider getting a brief fitting at your local bike shop or at least...ask them to give you a quick once over in the parking lot as far as saddle height and reach to the bars is concerned. Also, don't be afraid to play with the saddle a bit, especially since you mentioned your "bottom end". Or, you may find that you need a different saddle entirely if you are still in pain a month from now. I have ten saddles on m wall from 35 years of riding but my current saddle hit the bulls eye and I now have NO discomfort regardless of miles. NONE...a darn Christmas miracle if you ask me. It's a Selle Anatomica leather and you can find plenty of threads about it elsewhere on this forum. Good Luck!
