Am I right in saying that your lower foot leg should be almost straight when the seat is at the correct height?
I think mine is a little on the low side...

You didn't bookmark it did you SL?Someone posted me a link to adjusting your bike....it was very good! Hopefully they'll see this and re-post
Youll need blocks on your shoes when you get to the final RI have been riding my bike with the seat too low for years without really noticing it. I started raising my saddle a bit at a time. The seatpost has Bontrager printed on it and I raised it by one letter every 50 miles or so. I started off on the B and am now on the A, and without a doubt the bike is more comfortable to ride and I have less pressure on my forearms. Also my quads don't ache like crazy for the first few miles.

I had placed my saddle to be the height of my hip bone when standing alongside the bike.
It wasn't miles out but the extra inch or so of height it has now has made all the difference
