Trek 4500. Worth a punt?

gerroffandmilkit

Looking for a cheap MTB for trails and paths.
Clocked this example on ebay.

Listed as a Trek 4500. Year unknown and priced around £100.

Anyone tell me if the listing is correct, is it worth the money, and has anyone any info re spec etc?
Frame size is stated as being 17". Would this suit my 30" inside leg?
Thanks.

Size is in the ballpark, but only you can know when you try it. Nice little bike for milder trails and the like.

I think its maybe a 2010, 2011 model, its very different to my 4500 from 2012

Earlier than 2010

Looking on bikepedia it looks like a 2004 that's had the paint stripped.
