    You could try sterlinghouse, they do returns, they are web based.

    there was a thread yesterday on the grabbit about 10in thomas and barbie bikes for £14 - if you go through quidco it made it cheaper, I think it was through great universal or kays catalogues..
  • Hi there,

    This is the cheapest 16" (spiderman) bike I could see http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-8325.aspx - although it is over budget - you might be able to find a code here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=395602&page=26&highlight=tesco+code to bring it down a bit more and there is also a discount on the cycle helmet at tesco.com just now...

    Hope this helps (sorry it is over budget though!) - still a good price - you should be able to bring it down a bit with the right vouchers! Might be worth checking if you have a tesco extra near you I think I might have seen a scooby doo bike there as it is the sort of thing they will be promoting at this time of year - they might have an offer on. I know everyone says not to use clubcard vouchers instore - but if you have some it might be enough to bring it down to the right sort of price?

    thanks ! good call , yup got £6 of vouchers
    bought 14inch from argos (waited 30 minutes to collect and the store was'nt even busy- and price gone up £5 ) bike claimed for a up to 7 year old, well my 5 year old son is smallest in class and he is too big for the bike! - so return and email complaint to argos and visit tesco
