You might consider looking for a used bike with a decent frame the right size and swap out components until you have the best from both (that will work) on the bike you plan to ride. You could probably do this for less than the cost of a new frame. If you are very lucky you might even end up with two working bikes. You could then sell the too large bike to pay for more upgrades for the bike you keep.
