My old bike was too big and too small at the same time. Eventually I made it work, by doing the things you're trying. A new seat post took care of "too small" and I was able to get the seat height right without being in the "do not raise above this line" range.

On my new WSD bike, I felt that the handlebar was too low. The great thing was, my bike mechanic put a taller stem on but wouldn't let me pay for it until I'd ridden on it for a couple months, made a million other tiny adjustments, and he was sure that it was the right stem for me!
