What bike thread… cheap size small 29er full suss

My wife has decided that she may want a new bike. 

We were going to save up for a few more years and get her an e-bike, but various other life projects keep getting in the way and her current mtb is on its last legs (2013 29er hardtail). 

We probably will still end getting her an e-bike in the mid to longer term, but she’s decided to get a half decent but cheap ish full suss in the meantime. Budget is modest for new, but we’d prefer new for simplicity/ maybe finance and warranty etc and in fairness I’ve seen a few options.

Requirements:

budget £1500 max

0% finance a bonus but not a deal breaker 

trail geometry and 120-140mm travel - all rounder 

29er 

size small men’s or medium women’s - she is 5ft 5-6 ish 

Struggling to look past the Liv Emboldens for £1149 at Paul’s from my own research, but wondered if folks on here had seen any good deals that meet the above?

Cheers!
