I know most of us here are bike snobs but what I actually suggest for this girl is to go to her local bike shops, get fitted, and test drive every fixie each shop has until she is happy with the ride quality and price of the fixie. If it ends up being a Pure Fix, who cares, it's her bike. I think buying from a bike shop will be her best bet so that she has the support behind her in case she needs to make adjustments later on. I doubt this girl has guy friends that are really into bikes who can help her with a bikesdirect bike or she wouldn't be here asking for advice. Once she has experience with a bike, then she can sell her bike and go ahead and get that Kilo TT or whatever.
