14-27 would work with a 34 up front, I've just been specifying 11 or 12-28 as that's the size most seem to come in. SRAM does a 12-32 that looks like a cheap option with a 105 rear mech.
Campag would work but it's ugly as sin and Italian to boot ;)
Thanks for the offer of a bike but I'll be taking mine. I'd feel like I was cheating on her if I used another in the Alps! Besides, she's never been to France and I'm sure she would get a lot out of the experience...
