Hi Guys,

Built a 1991 Merckx with a Campag aero seat post.. I am currently running a Brooks Cambium 15 saddle at 52mm height and ideally need something around the 60mm+ height (from rail to saddle top) to get the length I need. I don't want to have to swap the seat post for another option.

I am looking for something that matches the "racing" bike rather than going one of the other Brooks options; anyone got a suggerstion? I am struggling to find measurements on Concor, Regals, Rolls, etc

If you have any and can give a rough measurement from bottom of rail to top of saddle at mid point on rails that would be great!!

I had the same problem when I cut a carbon seatpost too short :)
Ended up taking a classic Turbo from my commuter bike. Dont remember the exact measurement but it was something around 6cm.

I just measured two saddles that I have laying in the parts box.
1) Old regal. That measures real close to 50/52mm range. It is hard to get exact due to the saddle skirt over the side.
2) Old concor. That one is in the 59/60mm range That is measured mid rail before the tail upsweep.

I have a Selle San Marco Concor Light on my old steel bike,
the rails are not parallel to the top but it measures 55mm at the front and 65mm rear
Same as this and still for sale I think, I can take a pic of it on the bike if it helps.
