Cheap to mid priced, short french bow?

My first bow was a cheap (free) brazilwood that was kinda weighty but I always got along pretty well with it. A few years ago, I picked up a Grunberger carbon bow which is nice and light but has never felt quite right.

I sat in on a different bass in NC over Christmas and the bassist had a super short old Kolstein bow that just rocked. I'd have to think it was 19 1/2" or so.

So I come home and pick up my old brazilwood bow and find that it is a little shorter than the Grunberger...the Grunberger being 22" and the old bow being about 20 1/2".

Anybody have a source for even shorter bows (19 1/2" or so) that won't break the bank?
