Have you got drop bars on your Surly Ogre? They look like great bike packing bikes. I can’t get the idea of a custom titanium frame out of my head.....which is a shame cause they’re so bloody expensive!
Haystacks-
At your height I'd say go for it. I'm only 6'6 (albeit mostly leg)
This frame cost about £700 after shipping/taxes, photoed with 42mm but also fits 2" tyres

I had drop bars, then went to risers, I've now bought another drop bar setup but haven't fitted yet, I'm currently running a pretty long stem with riser bars and clip on aero bars but they're deadly on gravel, nearly impaled myself on one a few weeks ago after crashing in a pothole.
My brother has a SOMA Double Cross in a 66cm, one of those might fit your requirements?

I like the utilitarian look and the fact it looks like an old MTB frame with drop bars and gravel tyres. Probably better off with my Surly Ogre but would still like to find an AWOL.
