22 inches
Bunky:
Model C's and other new school geometry cruisers are the shit!
I've got a Model C, Model C3, Liquid 24, Fit CR24, and a custom Stout 24. I'm addicted to cruisers now and am working on getting a prototype frame built in China right now for potentially doing a small production run.
Maybe we should start a separate cruiser thread?

I'd like to try a franke and fork built around 18" but with adult geometry. I rode an 18" a bit on a backyard mini and I could do much cleaner 540s than on my 20 but it was too small for front end stuff like barspins or tabes and it looped out way too easily
Actually, 19" would be nice to try but it's too small an increment to expect anything to be made for it, i.e. rims and tires
Bunky:
You could always try sticking 18 inch wheels on a 20 inch frame as long as you don't ride brakes.
This kinda makes me want to put 20 inch wheels on one of my cruisers just to see what it feels like... Or even 12 inch wheels just to go to the extreme end with it.

Pedal strikes would be a nightmare.

I built this thing a while ago. Should be good on the jumps in Summer. Basically feels like a 20" but a bit less responsive and a lot more comfortable. The new ATF frames clear 2.4 tires with the Springfield brake for ultimate monster trucking.
