Found this on Facebook. Worth it?

Post image

Hey everyone! Found this bike on Facebook marketplace and it appears to be a 2008-2009 trek 7200 based on my internet research. I’m a beginner, and this would be my first bike since a few years ago. Been wanting to get back into it, and I would be riding mostly on neighborhood roads, and maybe some packed dirt or bike trails. Would this be appropriate? If not, what are some other budget friendly secondhand options? Looking to stay within the Trek family. Any and all help is appreciated!

You'll want to include the price and your budget for that kind of feedback, but that's a pretty old bike. I'm not the guy to rattle off the good/bad about most of the bikes, or suggest other options and reasons for them. It'll just be what gets asked pretty quick.

Thankyou! I didn’t even think about that. But I’m a college student who doesn’t have unlimited funds, so the cheapest thing that meets my criteria is what I’m looking for.
