Very few women are capable of growing the requisite facial hair.

Although I like the look of women in flannel shirts and jeans. If she skipped the beard, a recumbent might work

I should add, I have very limited knowledge of folding bikes. She just mentioned the Brompton name and I randomly grabbed an image on their website to post here. Not exactly sure what model she was looking at.

I refuse to read this whole thread, but have only one suggestion - Parlee Z5 SLi (Tall head tube option) with Dura-Ace Di2 or Record EPS and extra nice carbon clinchers like Enve 3.4...

So the folder is a second bike for things like commuting or travel, and backing up the main bike, and the total budget is 10K? This makes more sense to me, a lot of sense given what you've said about the objectives here. I think it lets you specialize a bit more with the choices.
