Hi guys, I am a 19 year old girl trying to get into mountain biking. I live near Alum Creek trails in Ohio so I have great access to good trails. I have been looking for a used bike as I have a small budget due to college. I am looking for a bike that I can ride on the trails once or twice a week and weekends in addition to taking to campus as a commuter bike for a couple days a week. I am very athletic and want a good quality bike that will last me several years.
I recently came across a 2006 Trek 4300. I am 5'6" and the bike is 16". I understand I should try the bike out and I will before I purchase it but was wondering if this will most likely be a good fit or not? I am upgrading from a Schwinn bike I had as a girl that is too small and do not want to purchase a bike
Is this a good quality bike? I believe I can get it for $225. Is this a good deal?
Any advice is welcome. Thank you!
