26 in Eastern Traildigger
Hi, I've found a bike on Facebook Marketplace for 300$. It's a 26 In Eastern Traildigger and the guy says it has all stock parts. I'm currently trying to find a bike that's better for street as I currently am on a XC bike(scott scale 965). I was hoping for some more aggressive geometry to do tricks and throw around and was wondering if this bike is suitable for my kind of riding. Thanks for looking at this.
Here is the link to the bike, facebook com/marketplace/item/956513428367151/
I can't post URL's so you are going to have to put a period inbetween the "Facebook" and "com". Sorry about that.

If you're looking to ride street, there are lots of 26" BMX bikes out there: Subrosa, Colony, Cult, GT, Kink, Haro, Verde ... pretty much everyone in the BMX business makes a model or two. IMO, these are better all-rounders than a dirt-jump specific bike like the Traildigger.

Ok, I think I understand now. Just learned that the Traildigger is not full CROMO so I'm not going to be getting it anyways. Just gonna go for the 2022 Kink Whip. I'm not interested in spending much more than 500 and from what I understand a full CROMO frame is required, so Kink Whip is going to be my best option.

Yes, budget is tight and I now realize that I need to prioritize solid parts and a good quality frame. I'm not going to get that with a cruiser BMX or a dirt jumper at 500 dollars. I'm gonna suck it up and just learn how to use the 20 incher.

20"s are a lot of fun, but they're not great for riding any kind of distance. Just FYI, the Kink Drifter is an all chromoly 26" for $500. Good luck with your quest!
