Look what my friend had to say about this bike:

--

(I meant front wheel suspension -springs- not rear wheel.) That bike
has
a spring under the seat known as a seatpost suspension. I've never
seen
them before I saw the one your looking at. I completely forgot about
the bike I have and I'm not trying to steer you to buy from me. I was
just saying for 300.00 you should be able to find a bike with a shock
absorbing suspension, probably used but a very good bike. Craigslist
stuff
with a front suspension spring in the forks.

Did you check that link ? albeit the complainers were all tall or
heavy that didn't like them (seatpost springs), your mileage may vary.
Bottom line is that the bike won't work well on trails as a mountain
bike.
It's strictly a commute bike. That seatpost spring might spoil a
perfectly
good bike in that sense. And that is costing ya a bit more for that.

My bike is a 100 dollar bike. That's what I paid for it and that's
about
all its worth.

Sorry for the confusion.

What I said:

Pardon my ignorance w/ bikes, but I don't understand anything
about
what you just said. Guess I'll have to try it out in the store in
person
someday.

I assume the bike you want to sell me is superior to the Trek?

May want to have a look at this before you buy .. Not too many
are fond of the seatpost suspension...

Also that's quite steep for a bike with not even rear wheel
Suspension. Maybe I'm thinking used, but hey.

What I said:

I'm thinking about getting this one.
