Just remember fluffy tires will add to the standover. I put some 700x42 tires on my 63.5cm straight top tube bike and it just seemed a bit too tall. If you have just a smidgen o' clearance (with shoes on) it will be fine for on road touring. Also, having the bars even with the saddle or slightly higher on a touring bike looks normal.
