Actually smaller and pointier was what I was thinking. My saddle now is fairly wide. When I was a kid and rode all the time, I had a hard leather saddle. No padding at all. Never had any discomfort. But I was also a lot lighter then. Still, I'm thinking the narrower, harder saddle of the Crossrip might work out better. If not, I'll start trying others.

I always ride with padded shorts. Pearl iZumis to be exact. They help, but not enough. I think what you were describing as my sits bones are hitting the saddle frame. I always feel like I'm sitting on the very back edge of the saddle. My saddle is already set back as far as it will go, too. The Crossrip will be a 61cm, so I'm hoping that suits me better.
