I know there are a ton of what saddle threads but are there any recommendations specifically for boney bummed riders?

Or some bike groups/clubs will lend saddles out. I've got several sat on a shelf (mostly ones that came with bikes and didn't suit my bony bum, but hey ho.)Does your local bike shop do test saddles?
I think I may have narrow sit bones too so the Brooks B17 may be the answer, having looked at them online tho its hard to imagine they're comfortable! not sure if my local bike shop (Go-Outdoors) do test saddles, will ask though.
Thanks
Rather than be limited to the Spesh/Trek or whoever ones, why not measure them yourself (the old cardboard/foil on the stairs trick) and get whatever it suggests will fit best?Second - take heed of the advice offered up-thread. Go get your sit bones measured (Spesh/Trek stores do this) and get the saddle they suggest that fits you
Firstly - ignore all the 'try this saddle' or 'this saddle is best' stuff.
Second - take heed of the advice offered up-thread. Go get your sit bones measured (Spesh/Trek stores do this) and get the saddle they suggest that fits you - they usually have some sort of satisfaction 'warranty'.
The above will sort it - anything else is just the saddle equivalent of Russian Roulette.
