I think our best bet right now would be a fuji classic 650, and a tange 650 lugged fork to accommodate her lugged needs. I'm going to be calling spicer bikes tomorrow as they build custom track bikes for smaller riders for a fair price

MTB have a higher BB than road or track bikes and all of them will fit 650c no problem. if the canti studs are removable, all the more better, but if it's a cheap one, I wouldn't hesitate to chop them off.

Look for used junior track bikes in their listings. Think the only way to find out prices is to email the guy. Should give it a try and might find something that fits your needs.
