Yes, I found that too. Seems to be the going rate. Is a nice used one a possibility given that the children outgrow them quite quickly?

My local second hand prices have also seem to of gone crazy

Something to do with Brexit I presume.

I think it maybe more to do with supply & Demand as my local bike shop still hardly has any bikes in stock and says just can't get them
