Does anyone know of such a frame?
My Surly Pugsley has a pretty high top tube, which lets me run a pretty big framebag. I love that.
I know there are a couple of frames out there with more space for framebags. Check out the Salsa Woodsmoke and the Salsa Cutthroat, and also the Rawland bikes, Ulv and Ravn. The Ravn looks pretty good for you.
