The easiest thing to do would buy a Charge Hob mixte and swap the bar and stem out for something more upright.
Singlespeed / fixed, step through mixte frame, decent components, steel... probably can fit bigger tyres on it as well. A friend has one set up as a SS and she loves it.
No doubt they'd be a lot more common in the UK too. There's also a 3-speed version.
