Odd option but look at Tokyo Bike Bisou. All 26" wheels, mixtes and built for shorter riders.

Not insanely expensive either. Depends on the riding she wants to do longer term, but it would be an improvement over gas pipe and not as £££ as custom painted Soma.
Cheers, excellent suggestion. Have asked them if they'd be willing to sell just a frameset...
