  2. A 24" frame on a 20" is fine as long you as don't plan on doing any
    stand up wheelwalking or gliding. Although it could probably still be
    done even with the 2" gap.

  3. You could definitely stand up ww. It just wouldn't be as easy. Your foot
    can't be on the frame adn the wheel while you're going anyhow.

  5. If you're looking to do trials then it wouldn't be recommended but of
    course you can do it, and it would look funny. Make sure the wheel
    width fits. If you have the choice for a different frame i would
    really opt for the 20 inch frame. You should call them first and see
    whats up instead of building a half assed uni.

  6. I can see it now... The new fad in uniing.

    similar to putting five foot rims on SUV's for that "pimpin'" look, now
    all the cool unicyclists will have 20" wheels on 24" frames...

    Actually, I'm gonna go with the 16" wheel on a 28" frame. The chicks
    dig it, man.

    how 'bout...an 8" wheel in a coker!!
    that'd look really, really weird....and I think it might feel weird
    too.

    You wouldn't be able to ride it unless you had excessively long legs.
