>>1033023Oh, nah, not at all. There are tonnes of good inexpensive options. I really like the Selle Turbo (>$30 on wiggle).
You can sit on a saddle with the rails resting on a table to try it out. You can measure your sit bones by sitting in some sand.
Above poster recommending a cutout might be right.
The only thing i'd avoid is any saddle with much gel/ foam padding.

It's really just a matter of trying things out until you find something that works for you. Don't settle for pain.
