Tell her to get a fixie.
Funny! Unfortunately she has only ridden a mountain bike and a comfort bike so the shifters on a modern road bike were new/unusual and foreign to her as is the positioning etc.
I checked out REI and the local Indie shops - both have a number of bikes in her price range with a triple. I told her to take my email with all the bikes and go ride what she can. The ball is now in her court.
