One of my biggest problems now is being unfamiliar with all the new sizes and jargon, I havn't bought a bike in 35 years.
Fortunately I have time and skill. I'm going to sand blast the frame and do the paint myself. I've built wheels a long time ago in my bmx days.
I like the challenge of taking an old steel bike that is ready to be tossed into the scrap bin and turning it into a bike where I can ride comfortably all day.

In today's bike terminology, you need an extra large frame. Show us a pic of the steel frame you bought when it comes in.
