yeah she's not too keen on the fixed so it will run singlespeed with risers. from the research I did it seems the fuji is quite good value b/c the parts are still pretty good, the wheels look quite nice, just a bit of a pain to get different tyres i suppose... although bricks & mortar like blb etc will probably have a good choice stock of 650s.
the effective top tube length is still 50cm if i remember correctly so even though the seat tube is real tiny its still a respectable size....
before this I built her a pompino which was unfortunately stolen, she really liked it and it was quite comfortable although I had a 50mm stem on there which in my opinion made the handling quite twitchy, although she never complained about it. Also because of the top tube length it was quite an upright riding position which for her as a casual rider was nice but for you may not be what you're looking for!
