well my Argos is 61x56.5 CTC... Bob jackson is 62x58 CTC... and Concorde is 62x59, somehow they all fit to serve their purpose... is there much call for 62 square frames?
I think for the tour, the ideal frame would be 60x56, mudguard and rack bosses and plenty of clearance, maybe canti mounts. There's a dawes which comes close in classifieds but holding out to experiment with what I've got. I was thinking about getting a planet x kaffenback as those frames seem proven pretty tough, really not keen on it aesthetically but I guess there are more important factors. Got a lower end campag group to stick on whatever I get, or might just transfer all the bits from my boardman cx. Then it'll just be coughing up for a bombproof wheelset. All the time in the world to plan though as I've pushed dates back to the end of next summer, towards the end of the monsoon season. Almost wish I could fast forward till then...
