Childs Bike Wanted

[colly]

I'm looking for a bike for my granddaughter. She is just a tad over a metre (1.06) and it's to replace her bike that's been stolen.
It needs to be not too knocked about and in good working order. Single speed. Preferably from a good manufacturer.

I've looked at some new ones but unless we spend a fair bit of money they all seem to weigh more than the average moon.

So if anyone has a bike that might suit please give me a shout.

Worth keeping an eye out at Leeds Bike Mill at the Quarry Hill end of York Road or large charity shop eg Barnardos?

Leeds bike mill have some listed online at the moment.
Hadfield prison have a repair and sell bike project that maybe worth a try.

Thank you both. @alicat and @tom73

If you're in Cycling UK, the latest mag has a feature on buying cheap but good quality bikes e.g. Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree etc.

Also if you do spend a lot on a new bike, it should have a good resale value when she's grown out of it.
