It's probably not because you left it late, bike shops have been struggling to get enough stock for bottom and mid priced bikes since the beginning of lockdown.

Secondhand is probably your best bet.

I know not everyone is a fan of Sports Direct but they have a blue muddy fox mountain bike 24 inch bike available for £139

Have you looked at Evans?

I like Decathlon for bikes

You will get a much better bike second hand. Spend time cleaning it and she will never know.

There is a global shortage of bikes at the moment!! I know two local bike shop owners who are struggling to get stock, and even Evans, Wiggle etc don’t have much.

Hace a look on FB. There are lots of kids bike sake sites. Many serous bike people will courier a bike, (cost is usually £20+) or meet you halfway.

Search fb for Preloved Islabikes; Preloved Frog Bikes; Preowned Kids Bikes and Cycle clothes.

@ThePinkGuitar, this is currently listed on the FB Preloved Kids Bikes and Cycle Clothing page. My knowledge of the midlands is not great, but Redditch is sort of that way isn’t it? I know it’s west of Brum though...

Have a look at Wiggle Cycles
They’re local to me and online only
Looks as though they have some in your price range too
