I searched for several decades and never found a saddle that liked me. So I guess I'm not the one to give advice about them.

The reason why there are so many different bicycle saddle designs is because somebody just loves every blessed one of them. You'll be able to find a rider who has tried and who hates every single saddle design too. Opinions on the less usual designs tend to be stronger both ways - people either really, really like them or really, really hate them.
It's hunt and peck, helijohn, I'd help you if I thought that I could. Luck to you. |
I sat on one of those once, for about ten seconds. It was uncomfortable to the point of pain.

I've heard that some shops offer a saddle trial -- try one for a few hundred miles and if you don't like it you turn it in and try something else. You might ask at your local shop if that's an option.

Cycling shops are few and far between which is why I go online for purchases. |

Nice idea.

Here's one that works for me, and I've had Terry Liberators and others, but this one seemed to not be too soft, but not a brick either, and I have found very comfortable (not expensive either): https://www.serfas.com/products/view...rmance-saddles

So the saddle came.

That Saddle looks like it came from John Deer.
