buggi said:it's a 58 frame. you would probably need a 56.
no, definitely need a new saddle. same problem as the original one on my other bike which I rode on for about 2 years thinking that everyone's ass hurt that much, because they are men's saddles and I've got girly hips. Got measured and found out i wasn't sitting on my "sit bones" and so they put a wider on and the problem was completely cured. i've measured both this new one and my other one and there is a one inch difference, so i'll nip down the shop for a nice white one i think.

I'm also 6' tall and have always thought of myself as being a bit shorter in the leg than average, but I have always have my saddle adjusted for a little over 36" pedal to saddle, so maybe not.
