I would have the opposite situation. I wonder if a 143 or even a 155 would work for me. Almost every long ride I have done has been on a Brooks B17 which is 170mm wide per Brooks. I think that may be a little misleading, though because some of the width of a Brooks saddle is taken up by the outer rivets.
