THat's probably not really the problem. I HOPE that's not the problem. But while it's true a Brooks is a little taller than most modern saddles, if you can't get a Brooks saddle low enough there is definitely a fit problem with your bike. Either the frame is too big, there is something strange about the seatpost such as a 450mm seatpost on a small frame, or the frame is simply too big. Anyway you look at it get the fit figured out before you worry about spending $100 on a saddle.
