the sizing isnt all on height more leg length
check the sizing thread in the road forum
i ran my measurments through a calculator and went from there. i bought my bike off the net without a test fit and then went and got fitted. and the sizing was quite accurate. i cant remember the calculator site tho, im sure you could find it with google

trek tt's usually run a tad shorter than some other popular brands. it would def. be either a size 60 (58 tt) or 58 (57 tt) though, but without knowing your body dimensions, i couldn't recommend one over the other, though.

thanks for all the help,
I found a used Trek 2004 5.9 Madone for 2800 with low useage, does this seem like a good price?

thanks for the help again

If you don't get any responses, you could try a Google search (Craigslist ads and/or list price new).

I have the 2004 Trek catalog sitting in front of me, and it was their flagship, top of the line model.

The other thing to consider is, what is the cachet of a (then) top of the line bike to you? $2800 would buy you a pretty nice completely new bike.

just as an example here is something you could get for around $2800-$3000.
