Sticking links tend to stay at a slightly diagonal position, rather than horizontal, which can be visually spotted by looking at the lower part when rotated, plus you will feel a slight knocking on the left foot rest as well.
Could also be wheel bearings I suppose too, but obviously this is just pure speculation without seeing or hearing it.
My feeling is the chain too, but if I buy it I will give it a good clean and lube and adjust it, it is one of those rare bikes which was locked up for 15 years and only did 80 odd miles a year and has a total of 8000 on the clock.
