Works for me - I do not ride my Quick SL1 very often these days, but when I do I still find the ride very smooth (using Marathon Supreme 35's)
The bike shop wanted them gone so they gave us a hell of a deal. I ended up with a Quick 2 (1x11 Sram Apex) and my wife ended up with a Quick 1 (2x11 105). We scored both bikes for $1,300 total.
Sounds like a great deal!
I am confident your wife will enjoy changing gears with the 105 (I have no familiarity with SRAM and/or 1x11)
