All the 0.195-in o.d. TFE coax cables I can find have a center conductor that is silver-coated copper-coated steel. This is fine above HF, but it's not great for 160M and 80M, where the steel is contributing to loss.

Can anyone point me to a 50 ohm TFE 0.195-in o.d. cable whose center is NOT coated steel?

Likewise, they all have a solid center with a 2-in bend radius. Anyone know of one with a smaller bend radius?

Original RG-58 (not A, B, C) is solid copper center conductor. Don't know about bend radius, and since the dielectric is polyethylene, I don't know that I'd want to bend it too tightly.
