Thanks for all the recommendations! Rivet does have a couple of models that are shorter and, though generally more expensive than Brooks, are not as expensive as the Gilles Berthoud Marie Blanque. As far as unsprung models for more upright riding, Brooks doesn't have anything currently available except B17S. I'm not sure the Berthoud is even available in the U.S. except by order from France. I haven't run across anything non-leather that would look good on the bike and be functional. One thing I learned from this search is to measure my sit bone width which makes the likelihood greater of having success from ordering a saddle I can't try in advance. Rivet does have a good return policy though. Linda
