The finishing kit on the bike is very high spec, xt, xtr
with good wheels and tyres. Rather than buy a new bike I

through frame?

Good question. When I were a lad all the Dawes and Claud
Butler bikes were available as frame & forks only, I wonder
if that's still the case?

If it's very high spec bits you could always enhance the
components with a custom frame built specially for her.

Though also note that "women specific" doesn't necessarily
equate to "step through". Things like shorter top tubes
feature on WS frames that don't have step through. Step
through is only a Really Big Win on a bike used by one
person if she wants to cycle in a skirt, cycles with
awkward loads or has trouble swinging a leg over the back
of the saddle.
