62 inches is a tiny bike box - have you measured your frame from the headset to the end of the drops?
Most bike standard frames are 36" long and, on average, 24" high.
That leaves you a box 2" wide.
You would need a very small bike to get it into a 62" total box.

Read the post. It was in reference to SS couplers which will get your bike into a standard piece of luggage. Just not sure about touring bikes.
