I'd measure the stack and reach on your Portland and start with that. Worth also measuring chainstay length, bb drop, and front to centre.

Depending just how long your inseam is for your height, and your arm length, you may need a short reach frame/bike e.g.
1. Lynskey Backroad ti frameset build up: stack 668, reach 378 (very short). Seat tube length 590mm.
2. Black Mountain Cycles Monster Cross disk. Frameset or complete. Stack 667. Reach 404mm. Seat tube length 590mm.
3. Salsa Cutthroat. Stack 664, reach 396. Seat tube length 584mm.
4. Marin 2020 Gestalt X10/11 etc. Stack 640. Reach 404. Shorter seat tube length at 550mm which might be too short for you.
5. Merida Silex. 1x only? Stack 663, Reach 430. Seat tube length 560mm.

I had a look at the Canyon Grail but the geo chart across all sizes looks wrong to me. Bugged?
