When you get to 26" cruisers IMHO, it's not really what's better but what suites your style more OP. If I was going to go retro I would get a chrome Kuwahara Suvivor and ditch the stem for a better vintage stem. Or I would look at getting a Race Inc if I wanted Aluminum. But if I wanted a nice more modern bike the Taj would be a great choice. personally though I don't know why guys simply don't throw some BMX bars on a dirt jumper and call it a day? Better brakes, better frame construction, and shocks if you want them. They probably also come with better and stronger wheels to.
