my other half bought a fuji se (43cm) on the bay, new for about 150. stock wheels ok after a tweak but she got some narrow mtb rims built onto track hubs anyway and they fit very well (virtually no adjustment of brake blocks for the different wheels). so now she has 22/23mm tires (not too easy getting anything else) on the lighter 650 wheels and a set of 25/26mm tires on the narrow mtb rims, which is what she uses mostly. she's 5'1" and she's had fun playing with an adjustable angle (giant) stem to get a ride that works best for her.
