Hi Paul,

I have a Brooks small rivet Pro saddle from the late '60s. It's the model with the truncated nose and measures 165mm. I didn't like the short length either, and soaked it in hot water with Lexol and slowly stretched it out to 175mm. It's an old ice skating trick to get those new leather boots fitting just right.

Regards,
