Thanks everyone (especially @Balki - useful stuff there) I know that my girlfriend would be mighty unimpressed by a pink pearlescent number (she's the kinda girl who headed straight for the matt black snowboard and secretly laughed to herself when the assistant gave her a discount because he was having trouble shifting said black snowboard to any other female boarders!) so I guess the thing to do is go for something that fits and she is happy with.
I would love to go down the route of getting a bike built, but I am technically totally inept so it would have to be built for her and I would like to get something quick (I'm really missing my SS after only two days!) As you may have gathered this is not an entirely selfless thing I am doing - the girlfriend gets a new bike, sure. But I get mine back :-) and I get to ride even more with her!
I'll post how we get on.
