I agree it looks a little high. Be careful not to rock your hips to "reach" for the pedal. Another decent place to start is sitting on the saddle with your leg straight (but hips level) your heel should just reach the pedal spindle. You may still need a minor adjustment from there.
What a gorgeous bike. Has anyone mentioned that?
