Look at Bruce Gordon's In House built touring bikes . they are above the Taiwan imports in price
but you get a bit more input on sizing.
for the current BLT,
He went to the same builders that make Surly stuff, but told them what He wanted,
so the rack fit is dialed in. [ but rim brakes]
Bruce is tall too, he will do right by you for fit.
I have used a set of Bruce's racks for 25 years, none better.

Cross bikes are higher BB, but lighter tubes so a load compromise.

Co Motion is a small Oregon shop, they do stock sizes and custom..
give them a look.
