Yeah quite a lot of 700c OTP caliper brake choice, Trek Lexa, Specialized Dolce, Felt ZW etc. Mega toe overlap in most cases; conversion to 650b or 26" isnt as easy as with disc wheels and pricey. No way I am going to put her on anything less than 32mm tyres. An ideal thing would be a cheap OTP road bike with disc brakes either women specific or tiny. There are a couple like women specific Synapse disc but its pricey.
Also @edscoble her fit outcome was pretty opposite of mine; she is EXTREMELY flexible so anything above 500mm stack is going to need a more than 6 deg downward facing stem. One of her issue (slight wrist pain) was due the fact that her handlebars were too high.
