I'm 5'5" and I started out on a stock Lemond that never fit me correctly. Tried Specialized Ruby and a Scott Contessa and couldn't believe the difference in fit. I chose the Contessa and regularly do 50+ mile rides. She should definitely try as many different bikes as she can. Her bodily proportions are going to determine whether or not she will feel better on a WSD. Personally, I'll never have another "men's" road bike after riding a WSD bike.
