Thanks for all the recommendations. I should have mentioned that she is interested in a go-fast (partly to keep up with her boyfriend on his Indy Fab cyclocross). I have planted the seed of the issue perhaps being her boyfriend being too fast, rather than her being too slow, and am working to convince her of the benefits of bobishness. So the target bike would probably resemble a very small Rodeo or AHH more than an Atlantis or LHT...
Btw, I think she could be convinced to spend $2000 on the right bike, but more may be a stretch.
