No they don't. I don't mean to be abrupt (I just am), but I'm afraid
you are in error.

Rivendell measures seat tubes Center-To-Top like most people, and top
tubes Center-To-Center like everyone.

>From their site (http://www.rivbike.com/article/bike_fit/

Our bikes, and most non-Italian bikes, are measured from the center of
the crank (or bottom bracket) to the top of the seat tube. In the old
days this was called the English Method, to distinguish it from the
Italian Method, which measures to the center line intersection of the
seat and top tube (think, "center of the seat lug".
