Yeah, I did consider building myself as well, but am short on time, tools and experience. And although I posted a specific set of wants, most of them are by no means needs; I’ll settle if something passable drops into my lap :-)
Thanks for the helpful advice!

Best bet is keep an eye on the classifieds and Gumtree then. If you do find a frame and components for cheap I'd be happy to build it for you for a case of beer! My living room looks like a workshop anyway...

Decent wheels for cheap here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/313417/ could be rattle canned or leave as is for theft proofing. See, got the main bits of a bike together already!

Yeah it's really annoying, takes a lot of trawling. Maybe, as you have fairly specific requirements, you might be better off building something up? This would be a good start https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/313397/#comment13964748
Depends how urgent it is I guess. Problem with the cheap Chinese brands is they seem to be assembled without any lubrication, so if anything fucks up a year down the line you end up having to saw it off
