I would imagine it would feel small like 20 except the wheels want to keep rolling. The bb is like a vert bike only 1.5" higher than the axels. so whatever bar height you are used to will feel a bit more upright. I have the axel slammed but it looks like I have a good.5 inch or more adjustment. I am going to lace up my elite's tonight ot tomorrow and switch to 30x12 and move the wheel further back in the drop out.
If you have been riding a 20 with a long tt and cs to compensate for your size the bike will feel better but your hands to hip distance will shrink. Not an issue because even slammed it it a bit harder to pull up.

For the InDust 2Ton 22" frame that I posted earlier in this thread, http://www.bikeguide.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3557644&postcount=157 Vernon and I went with a longer front end (21.75") and shorter back end (14"). I'm 6'1", 35.5" inseam. I have a 22.25"tt Liquid Feedback 24" and I've also ridden the 22"tt Liquid and the 22"tt Sunday Wave C 24" . . . and when I rode 20"s, I typically liked 21.5"tt the best, so 21.75"tt seemed to be an ideal size for larger trails frame for 22" wheels. I've got STANDARD 9"s on it right now, which is taller than I used to ride, but I've been experimenting with taller setups and it feels great.
The InDust Cuatro 24" (with 22.3"tt) and the InDust 2Ton 22":
