reasonable btwin road bike
Not bad for £600 and very practical. Otherwise at that price point I'd say secondhand is probably the other way to go. Oh and remember she'll need to budget shoes and pedals.
I do sort of agree that a +100mm stem feels better. But at the same time it doesn't take long to get used to changes.
Do you or does she not like having short stem?
If it's you, then stop worrying about how it look, just go for a reasonable btwin road bike to get started.
