A Bike For Wilkie!

I've been put in charge of procuring a road bike for  Wilkie's attack on the Corto in May.  My suggestion of a super record equipped carbon job in my size (you can put the saddle down) was met with silence and a raised eyebrow.  So.

Budget under a grand.

Minimum spec  105 or veloce

Best I've come up with so far are a Cube Axial ladies road bike 105 with ultegra rm and Easton E30 wheel and a Kona Lisa rd with a similar spec and Shimano RS10 wheels both around £850.  Anything better out there? Not much choice at this spec and price both are sale bikes.  Is a ladies road bike necessary for a woman of 5' 7"  - was told women have proportionately longer legs than men so require a frame with a shorter top tube.

Your thoughts please. image
