After searching through the Internet, and waiting patiently, I have finally came down to these two the “Kink 2023 drifter & STOLEN “zeke” 26 inch . I am personally in love with both of these and I am also in love with the fact that they are pretty much full chromoly and for a sweet price!( I am adding things to it not leaving stock, updgrading chain as soon as I get it ) but im trying to compare the two, but it seems like they are very much similar. My question is which one would last me the longest and which one is the best quality between the two. What should I be looking at?
. Also When I look at the Zeke bicycle, the descriptions says a “S bend chainstay ? Is this good for a 26inch bmx ? Or is this just a marketing strategy.
Here are the specs.

Looks like the Zeke is gonna be a bit of a snappier ride, if that’s of interest/concern to you.
