Help find 26in Steel Girls frame??
All these are Steel, but they are 700size tires, I am looking for something with 26in wheels, If anyone know anything like this please let me know,
I am also looking for something with a internal gear hub, but that is not a main point, and please don't bother with cheap Walmart bikes

Soma Buena Vista https://www.somafab.com/bvista.html has 26" wheels in the smallest size, 700C in other sizes. Also Rivendell Betty Foy https://www.rivbike.com/products/show/betty-foy/50-685 has 650B wheels, which are pretty close to 26".

Why do you need to have a step-through frame (which is a more appropriate term than "girls frame" because they can also be used by boys). That design seriously compromises the frame's strength, which is why very few quality bikes are made using this design.
If you want a step-through frame because you have restricted flexibility, then it is totally understandable and I wouldn't question it, but if it is due to style/fashion, or due to not understanding all the factors that should go into this decision, then I would urge you to reconsider the requirement for a step-through frame.
