Hello folks
After an old 26er mtb to turn into something I can commute on and use for bits and bobs for when its too wet or hilly for me to fancy whipping the fixed gear about (is this me admitting I'm getting old?)
I'm not that clued up on old 26er sizing. Im 5'9" with proportionately long legs, I ride a 54cm pre cursa and there is a substantial but not ridiculous saddle->bar drop, but the 547mm effective top tube length is pretty nice with a 110mm stem for the kinda riding its made for. So probably stick to the 540mm top tube length or a bit less I guess?
Something that I can ride away or practically ride away would be great, also bonus if its already got some of the parts off the whitelist that makes a trendy but not premium 26er would also be a big bonus (mudguards, skin walls, racks, cantis, basket, single ring front? etc.)
Around £150 tops
Collection from anywhere in London or potentially could pay postage for the right thing.
Cheers!

@sacredhart would you mind saying what height you rode this bike at?
*edit: poor wording, how tall you are basically../

'S saddles are all quite narrow, i.e. with a sitting point width of 131-136 mm' - Selle Italia website https://www.selleitalia.com/en/tipsgo-en/the-right-size-for-me/
If you've googled but are wanting the specific measurement between that range then please totally ignore me for being presumptuous, just tryna help

a bit off topic but I've seen some people shift them on here, not looking for anything fancy, just need a new machine for my sparetime wannabe hannah hoch/peter kennard-ing, something working, easily available ink, a scanner that works but doesn't need super dpi, will do the trick
I'm in SE london but would travel round the city for pick up
