This man hit it on the head. I seriously can't say anything bad about my LHT, which long-time readers will note is funny because I can find things bad to say about anything . The setup proposed here is perfect, absolutely perfect. I believe there is a 64cm Trucker frame, if so that might be tall enough for you. I'm 6ft 2 and I ride a 58cm, but probably could have gone with a 60cm. The frame sizes for Surly run a little big, but check with your LBS.

Seriously though, the changes I would have made/have made are above. As soon as the stock tires wear out, or as soon as I cave and buy some I'm going with a set of 700x28 Continental Ultra Gatorskins. The stock tires are great, in fact if you do gravel/non paved touring they're idea (which is what is keeping me from getting rid of them), but for pavement you'd want something that rolls a little faster. Wheels are the key, and the stock wheels are pretty darn good. Ride them, and if you have problems, go with a Deep-V built up with the original hubs.

Other than that, it's the most versatile bike on the planet. On Monday my route home involved a paved MUP, a street, a gravel road, a crushed limestone path, and a highway. Granted a lot of bikes can do that, but not a lot can do it comfortably.
