Thanks for all the responses. Bill: Excellent advice! I may end up following it. Laing: That B68s looks very good but I don't think Brooks makes it anymore. It's not on their website that I could find. I seem to remember something from one of the Riv newsletters about it being no longer available. Joyce: Thanks for your offer but I think the nose is too long on the Selle Anatomicas. The other two ideas for Brooks saddles were also good. The C19 might work but not sure I would spend the money since it's not as short as I like. Linda
