The pointed toes isn't preference. It's due to the saddle height. I experimented on the trainer last night. If I pedal with a slightly toe down or flat position, my rocking in the saddle is more pronounced as I have to shift my pelvis to finish the down stroke. On motion capture analysis, I'm also "flicking" the back of my knee on the upstroke. So the pedal stroke is not smooth.

I guess I'm torn between the 58 and the 61. Since neither one fit super well, the most appropriate action is to get fitted for stack and reach on an adjustable bike with a fitter. If only I didn't have to wait 2 months.
