Well now that the serious steps have been taken, I feel free to recomend Tig welded straight wall .035" tubing, at least for the main frame. I wonder what the weight difference would be. About 30 inches of .3mm tubing weight added, but no lugs, it wouldn't be all that huge. Anyway, sounds like your bike will be a lot more cherishable. Maybe she just needs something so nice she takes care of it...
