Well, without standing behind you and for not having both feet on the pedals it LOOKS like a decent extension. If you pedal using the balls of your feet, you should have the right amount of flex but again, that is really difficult to tell without you having both feet off the ground.

From here, it looks to be a decent fit given I'm looking at a pic. Not sure why you would want the bars any lower and it does not look like you should take the seat any higher.

Ride it for a while and see how it feels. Then, post your findings when you can.

Good luck - that IS a nice bike!

EDIT: Just wondering - is it hard to get your leg over the seat with it that high and that is why you had it lower to begin with?
