just got into trials, had a few rides on mates bikes

was wondering what size bike i should get tbh

20" or 26"

will my height and build affect this?

im 6 foot 1 and quite athletic

atm just ride a commuter bike, carrera vulcan..

any tips?

You Really only have one option of trying both of them and see how you like them.
But I'd say just buy a 26" because mods are gay:P

a mod is a trials bike with 20 inch wheels
ie:Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.observedtrials.net/album/data/2/P3130051_Large_.JPG
then a 26" bike is a stock
