For touring be safe and size up for a nice upright position. I call my touring bike the Winnebago. 63cm c-t-c with 38cm handlebars. It takes me in a straight line in a comphy position. (My femer and arms are extra long for 6'1 human.)

I knew something was up when I could fit in SW airlines seats but not Continental (same plane type.) It just seemed odd for a person not very tall.
