Have you considered ebay dans France?
At first sight they seem to have loads on their site. Obviously you'd have to brush up on your Franglaise to be successful but I was thinking over a weekend - cycle from Fareham > Portsmouth > ferry to French France > cycle to meet the vendor(s) > make a purchase, disassemble your bike stick it in your cargo bike and ferry back.
Quite an adventure.

I’m on the south coast, Fareham. But was considering going to SBC cycles to get the frame set. It looks like they’re the closest dealer along with others in London.
I was considering a gearing for 32:16, the classic mountain bike ss gearing as a starting point, but could gear down from that. But I think I’ve been persuaded otherwise now.
In terms of the front wheel rim had assumed you just used the most hard core BMX rim you could find ?
There have been a couple of Bullitts come up on eBay in the last 6 month. The last one which looked like it was in need of some tlc went for £1600, you also had to go to Glasgow to get it.
I don’t need the bike until September ish so I think my budget will grow to a more realistic £2500
