    Have a look on adverts.ie or go into halfords or your local bike shop you won't get much online for 200 quid

    Seeing as he's 14 he's likely going to grow some more so I'd look for a small to medium, probably in the range of 15-18" frame. Best off getting a hardtail too.
    Your budget is low but you'd find something on adverts
