Yep. I'm 6'4" as well, and my preferred size (three road bikes) is 64 or 65. It's pretty common for shops to promise to "make it fit" when they have a bike in stock, but the customary approach is just to put on a longer seat post and imply that it's your fault you're not flexible enough to reach down to the bars. At least they gave you an ugly handlebar fix to avoid that....
