You can search for some old steel from the mid-90's. Some were made with 1 1/8 heads so you can upgrade the fork. Keep in mind, they won't have disc brake mounts for the rear. I recently picked up a 97 Hoo Koo E Koo that I plan to use for MUP riding and the top tube has very little slope to it.
But man, that design is gonna hurt if you ever come off the bike at the wrong angle and try to land on your feet while stradling the top tube.
