Just to say it looks like we've found a good 16" Isla CNOC at a good price and it's blue (the most important factor from her point-of-view!) to be picked-up on Saturday.

Many thanks for everyone's help.

Good choice, cycle-wise and financially. My granddaughters are working through Islabikes now, the 6 year old is on a 20" and it's incredibly light. Daughter buys them second hand and the "depreciation", if there is any, is less than the cost of buying cheap bikes.

Forgot, we got the cosmos, then mx16 Ridgeback, then frog 52 I think in 20" and now a frog with 24" wheels. The two frogs are the only ones that were good rather than adequate IMHO.
