So here I am with a 58 MUSA Atlantis thinking it's a little small and I wonder if the new one with more rake and wheelbase would work better. Also with size 12 feet I've always had toe overlap with some bikes including my Atlantis. My 90-91 PBH puts me on a new 56 or 59, both have slightly longer top tubes and more rake. Right now I'm not riding fenders on the Atlantis because of overlap, even though I'm using clipless pedals (I know...)my big feet just get in the way.
