Instead you have to traverse Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools… and that leads to the developer web site where the command line tools are located.

Wandering a bit off-topic, apparently 10.9 has made life a bit easier when upgrading. From the Xcode release notes:

Otherwise, the tools delivered in the Command Line Developer Tools package are used. The Command Line Developer Tools package can be installed on demand using xcode-select --install or by trying to use any command line developer tool in Terminal.
