You can check this by dropping a plumb bob from right under the knee cap, the soft part right under the knee cap, down through the pedal. You will probably be a little behind that because the frame looks to be a bit small for you.
You can follow these fitting instructions to get a rough fit:

I owe you a beer. I've been stuck on having to have the saddle all the way back, it didn't even occur to me to try moving the saddle forward. Leveled it off, moved the saddle forward an inch, raised the seatpost about a quarter inch. It feels significantly better. Thanks, I really appreciate the input.
