Quick update - the frame and fork weight difference was only 300g, not enough for her to notice over the comfort factor so went for the Ridgeback.
Just got it back from the powdercoaters in RAL 6027. Colour is great, though I'm a little disappointed in the finish, there are quite a few pinholes all over the frame. Only really visible on close inspection but still annoying as this powdercoater has a good reputation for bike frames. I've waited 3 week as they told me there were a few pinholes on the seat tube and wanted to strip and repaint. I wasn't expecting any the 2nd time so didn't unwrap it till I got home. They've offered to repaint but it means another long wait and cost / time of getting it there and back. Plus I've already missed her birthday by 2 weeks due to the delay so am reluctant to wait any longer. Didn't have this problem with the other powder coaters I used for my frame and these guys are supposed to be better
