Feral, if you don't like chromoly or Ti, what is left?
I think the chromoly should work fine, really, and it costs less than Ti of course.
You need to get your sit bones measured. Everyone's sit bones need to get used to sitting on a saddle, but if the saddle you are sitting on is too narrow, you're going to be sitting on the tender stuff on the INSIDE of your sitbones (as in between) and that's not good.
So go back, get measured, and start trying saddles there are a lot that cost under $40. good luck.
