I would have no compunctions about warning anyone to bail on that deal regardless of their gender. She's being set up for a long complicated build that will likely leave her with an expensive crappy bike. Very likely the experience would sour her on fixed gear bikes in general. Tell her to get out while the getting is good. Help her figure out a good workable bike for a reasonable price, and the roads will be populated with one more happy fixed rider.
