I like the bike but it’s too small for you. At 6’5 you’re going to need something like a 60cm frame. This is a 21” frame- 54cm.
What kind of touring are you talking about? Supported, where a van drives your gear from one night to the next? Or unsupported where you have to put all your stuff into racks on the bike? For supported touring you can get away with a regular road bike like this. For unsupported touring you really want a touring bike, with mounts for the racks and low low gearing.
