Quoted message said:(the front) is just about level with the end of my foot. It feels more
comfortable to ride like this on hills especially.Does this mean I need ot adjust my saddle - or have my legs changed
shape!?

Jim, sit on your bike, put a heel on a pedal, rotate the cranks so this
pedal is at its extreme distance from the saddle, your leg should just be
straight now, no kink in the knee and no hip swivelling to keep the heel in
contact. This is a good starting point.
