Good luck.
I am putting it on the list of possibilities. They do have a very small frame version, though I don't know how well the frame works with the tires. Of course, the nearest Trek store doesn't carry the smallest frame.

Another possibility I found was the Camaleonte Due. It is geared decently low, like the Trek, and is sized appropriately with a 43cm frame available. I don't think I can post links yet without falling in the moderation queue so I'll skip the link and the lovely picture.

No dealers around though.
