I can't do much about the length of the frame without putting an excessively short-reach stem or something like that.
As suggested in the c&v 26er drop bar thread- look for an early 90s 700c hybrid. multiple models are mentioned there as well as options in your area. These fit 40mm(or wider) tires and are easily upgradable since frames have standard current dimension components.
