Bikes: Trek 830 18" frame => Mavic X517 ceramic rims | XT RD | XTR FD | LX Canti's | SRAM Atacck shifters | SRAM SG850 11-30 Casette | Vetta Transverse AT saddle

Just returning to cycling, need some saddle recommendations

Well I been out of the saddle for a couple years, I just got around to rebuilding my vintage Trek 830.

I'm around 184 pounds (and dropping) my sit bones are pretty narrow (around 50mm) and my old saddle just isn't working. The saddle is a Vetta AT Transverse (146mm?), the problem I'm having is bad pain in my sit bones. I've played with height, and saddle position till I was blue in the face, it's just time to find a new saddle I think. I thought at first it was I'm just out of shape, but I've pushed on for several days, 20 or so miles total probably, and after 2 days off I'm still sore.

I mainly plan to ride paved. unpaved trails, nothing to extreme as the bike is full rigid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
