Why would you do that? Solid has less loss. If you are worried about it
flexing too much and work-hardening (or breaking) the center conductor, use a
strain relief of shrink sleeving at both ends.

Use RG-58A or C
Stranded, flexible, used for test leads and jumpers for generations.
Loss difference over a foot or so of jumper between even RG-174 and
hardline is insignificant assuming you are not running a microwave HT.
Even at 1GHz it won't amount to much.
