Dont worry about getting a 24 man, just get the base and run 26 inch wheels. its a beast. there is a bit of a difference between 24 and streety 26 being that parts for building up bikes are easier to find with 26 bikes. As for the way they feel and the way the base would feel, with an alreay super low BB, with 24" wheels on it it would be rediculus!!imo The base builds up to be a bunny hop and manualing beast whatever bar and stem you run..will depend on what you like of course and how tall you are etc. 24" the bike just feels tiny going from 26, this has good points and bad points Id rather not go into.
