Agreed. That bike is specific for women, or small riders, and not a TT bike. The way I'm seeing it, its made for her and more personal, so she should really dig it then. Just my take.
I would leave the wheels alone, as they are specific for that frame. Besides, I doubt you could even fit a 26" wheel in front, and even if you could, the brakes wont line up and you'd be asking for trouble. Women have short torsos, and that stem is an indicator of that.
Looks like you got a pretty nice bike with that 105 stuff on it. Just pack two spare tubes and she'll be good to go.
