That's 3 strikes for me.
If you were able to ride it before you bought it, I'd say maaaaybe.
Keep looking for a deal, even craigslist and local bike shops.
Yeah those top links in the rear appear to have pivots on both ends of each, like it has suspension, a three or four bar linkage, but I see no spring. The chainstay configuration looks like it could have a pivot, or not. Relying on just vertical bending flex in the chainstays would require quality steel and very careful design. One would think if it has suspension, it would say that. Sketchy. I don't like buying something as simple as a bicycle without fully understanding everything.
