Like Mr Seaton, IFTFY.

should get a 28" MTB steel frame


WTF does that mean, if anything?

635mm format is, in my experience 1-1/2x1/5/8 only. Nothing
wider, nothing skinnier available anywhere.

Yes, you can buy a classic British 28" bike:

and you can call it a randonneur or call it any name you
like but that won't change the real world.
