Orange Diva.

Excellent frame and very good ride overall. A little under budget at £799, but that would allow her to factor in pedals etc as well on the BTW scheme.

I have the next one up the WLS SL and it is awesome! Very impressed with it.

I've got last years myka expert...great bike and has plenty of room for upgrading (e.g brakes and various bits of the drivetrain when they wear out) but works well as it comes.

Orange Diva looks like a copy of the Spec Myka

Wife has and loves her Myka

Genesis Core

Don't dismiss the Rock Lobster, would be worth checking out Merlin's complete builds.

Wifey has had both Trek wsd 4300 and Myka expert.

She much preferred the Trek. Sizing came up small on the Myka, so be cautious if you go the Specialized route.
