A quick google for the bike brings up a few second hand ads. Most seem to be going for between £30 and £40

If it's a mountain type of bike, then it's a good chance you can only touch the floor on tip toes due to the higher bottom bracket (the bit the pedals turn on).

Sit on bike, with bare feet, pedal at it's lowest... with a straight leg, if your heal can just touch the pedal axel, then it's the right size. If nowhere near, and you can't lower the saddle then yup - way too big.
