I"m not seeing anything special about it. You need to sit on it too. Bikes have to be setup for each person and some will just not fit.

if the rear suspension locks out, then itll be fine for getting around on/ commuter bike. if it doesnt have a lock, then its gunna **** riding around on.

meh you can do better, if its just for school and getting around, I would not get a full suspension bike.

Dats an ugly bike, but after all, it is just for transportation to school and back.

I would offer 65 for it and see if he bites.
