Where are you measuring? I do not claim to know the correct way to measure a tt but on my 68cm Atlantis the distance between the head tube and the seat post is 59cm. The Rivendell geometry chart from the era my was made says the top tube on a 68 was 62 and the tt on a 64 was 60 so I must be measuring incorrectly. The brochure with the chart is undated but at the time the list price was "about $1300." I purchased my bike from Peter White in November 2003 and the frame fork and headset cost $990.
