Thanks for all the input. I have a correction, the saddle is the B68S imperial, which is the women's version and the rails are shorter so the saddle is back as far as it will go. I tried my husbands saddle with it still on his bike. I just looked at it and it is marked B17. However, I got a ruler and measured the metal plate on the underside of his saddle and it has 5 inches between the metal. So I know I was hitting it.

ny biker, trust me it was pure grit and stubbornness that got me this far, along with a lot of tears and frustration. I went to the bike store a couple of times when I first got my bike and they just kept saying my sit bones needed to just toughen up, so I just thought I was being a baby. I just keep thinking when I get the right saddle for me I will be so happy. Maybe I could do a century ride! Wouldn't that be nice! My longest ride is 75 miles and that night I cried because my bottom hurt so bad.

Thanks again for all the advice. I will try anything to have comfort while riding.
