Trek 4900 2001 Model
I was able to pick up a really nice used 2001 Trek 4900 mountain bike for a decent price from eBay recently. The mountain bike was in beautiful condition with hardly any signs of being used for off road riding. It was a bit greasy but nothing a good cleaning job couldn’t fix. See for yourself:

The Trek 2001 4900 was well regarded. It was rated 4.3 out of 5 on the MTBR site.
The used Trek 4900 came pretty much stock except for the saddle and the tires. I have since upgraded the stock Shimano Acera crankset to a Shimano Deore HollowTech crankset, and changed the pedals. There was all that I needed to do the mountain bike to make it good as new.
Here is a partial list of the components on my new used Trek 4900.
Shift Levers – Shimano Alivio RapidFire Plus
Brakeset – Promax Aluminum linear-pull brakes, aluminum linear-pull levers
Fork – Rock Shox Judy TT, 3.15″ travel
Front Derailleur – Shimano Acera
Rear Derailleur – Shimano Deore in silver
Crankset – Shimano Acera

There were three versions of the 2001 Trek 4900. This one is the non-disc version, meaning the frame does not have the mounts for the disc brake calipers.
There was also the Disc version with disc brakes instead of V brakes, and a women specific version. The 2001 model came in black, red or silver.
The frame size of my Trek 4900 is 13” and fits my older son – now – and should fit my younger son next year.
