What kind of bike is this?
I'm looking into buying this bike off Craigslist but the person taped up the frame. I was wondering if anyone can identify the make and model of this bike and if it's worth $220:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,

Try the Hybrid Forums for a more firm ID on the bike.
As for whether you should buy it- I wouldn't pay $220 for that bike.

I'd go below $220, just because she spent 200 does not mean she should get 200 back, nor should it exaggerate the price of what the bike is really worth.
I'd be more concerned that the bike has been neglected to the extent of needing an overhaul that probably cost more than half of what the bike was worth brand new.
For a hybrid, I would think that you could find a new one at your LBS for a little over what you are currently looking to spend, but would be much happier with your decision.
Just my 2 cents...

Yea, I know it says trek, but I called the lady up and she had no clue and I wanted to find out the exact model so I could do a price check. Thanks though

Looks like a Multitrack to me.
I have a 7100 and it looks quite similar.
I would not pay $220 for it, either.

If the Trek Decals were taped for painting, why weren't they taken off?
I would not pay $220 for it. Sorry. Wait a week and offer $175.
