In theory as you move the saddle up you'd also move it forward to preserve the same angle, but in your case I don't think I would (again...yet at least) as I think you're just too low to start with. In general (and bike fitting is equal parts science and voodoo) when people get below 135° knee angle is when I start looking at *why.*

(If you scroll up a bit SF posted a pic of her fit that Missy/EROsport did. Knee angle is closer to 140 and she's stretched out a bit)
Jeeesh....I was looking at my bike fit notes and no wonder my seat is so low...either it slipped, or my last saddle sat higher on the post, because it was 1.5cm lower than my target! Well, that's fixed. New stem on the way, and then I'll plug everything in, get some new video and measurements, etc.
