Options for 26" old school build? Custom?

Years ago I rode what I thought was a spray painted Pashley but realise now it was likely a steel Megamo and looked just like Akriggs Mongoose from remembering the proportions. 

I'm really not a fan of the new street trials bikes and have been wanting to build up an old school trials bike with a normal seat etc for a while. 

I can't find an old Megamo at all. My next option is Pashley but I'm reading the back end is long and a ball ache on back wheel. Thought this is my first option right now.

Custom wise, Marino will take too long and that seems to be only option. 

Any other options I'm missing? Thinking purely steel. Had a Giant trials frame year ago and it feel uber harsh compared to steel.

Pashley is fine. It worked and many of us used them. Don’t compare it t something that became more trials bespoke. Remember we all started using 15” dirt frames. 
 

There is plenty about just gotta find it and pay for it. 
 

If you want Steel and trials bespoke I’ve a Leeson I might sell
