I only see the knees hitting the chest when the OP really crouches down. He does have pretty good flexibility. But, perhaps it isn't an issue for most ordinary riding.

I agree, I'd try raising the seat a bit. Maybe 1/2", or even 1". I go by the method, heels on the pedals, straighten the leg at bottom of stroke, then adjust from there.

What is the actual crank length on the OP's bike?
