Also to consider is your thigh circumference. Thick quads may want a narrow nose saddle to give more space for peddling and reduce inner thigh chafe.

Something you'll only work out with experience is if you prefer a flat saddle, rounded or something with a bit of a kick-back on the rear (assists pelvic rotation forward)
Thanks so much for sending this.
