I picked up a small 2014 26" Enduro for my son two years ago and faced the similar issues.
First things to figure out were cranks and dropper post.
Post: At the time, not a lot was available with very short max insertion length. The reverb C1 in 100mm drop was the only one at the time that could fit fully inserted, and had a low stack height too. One up just released their 90mm post that would now fit ok, but with less drop. Upside is that the Reverb gets more drop; downside is that it's a Reverb and requires regular maintenance. I'd rather the One Up v2...
Cranks: the 155mm SRAM NX cranks worked, but also required a PF30 GXP BB. Tough things to source out these days. Trailcraft 152mm also works with 24mm (have those on a Ripcord 24" for my daughter), as does the Spawn cranks. Those Canfields look nice!
Hardest thing to source now is 26" rims... They are now as hard to find as a good 24" rim.
