1. Remember these calculators are guidelines, not gospel. They probably get you in the neighborhood.
2. Yes it sounds like you have slightly longer than average legs for your height (I have the same problem but more extreme).
3. Look for traditional italian geometry bikes, I am pretty sure for example the GIOS 60cm frame has a 56cm TT.
4. You can compensate slightly by getting a size smaller frame and raising the seatpost a couple cm.
5. For perfect fit, consider custom geometry...costly but for non-stock bodies a good option.

Send me PM for detailed discussion if desired.
