I am looking for a single speed to ride around town, hit some tracks and get stronger. The latter not really important since I stay active outside of biking but I figured it would be a little help.
Anyway, here are my 2 options I found.

I can get it for $180. I like the 27.5 wheels since it will roll "faster" than a 26 but I am not sure of the quality. Again, trails, jumps and what not. Nothing CRAZY.

I can get it for $50. It has the 26 which I don't mind since I wont be racing anyway. I plan on using the rigid fork while I save up for a better suspension fork. Good idea?
Which bike is the most bang for the buck?
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you

you should define what and why you want for people to help. People use MTB with single speed, but that is a hardcore minority.
Best bang for your buck is the one that does for you what you want and that fits. Neither can be answered by us.
