See the responses in this thread to date: no one here can tell you which saddle will work for you. It's trial and error, until you find not so much which specific saddle works, but rather which type/design works for
you.
Me, for example? Old (68), arthritic, and with lots of 'issues', but I can't stand anything other than what some on here would call 'ass hatchets': narrow, lightly-padded 'racing' saddles. My two requirements: a 'flat' (not dished) profile, and a cut-out. Anything else -- banana profile, no cut-out, medium to heavy 'padding' -- drives me nuts.
Current fave? Specialized Avatar (non-gel). Have them on my bikes, and a couple spares in boxes.
