I decided to start a build for my first bike rather than buy one,but i have a few questions/concerns will a 20" frame be sufficent? I plan on using springer forks or triple trees whichever will give me the stance I want. also will 26" tires and wheels fit? I am very new to this so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
is 20" the seat post length?? or the size tires/wheels that go on the bike? The 26" wheels will not fit the frame if it's made for 20" wheels without doing A LOT of mods.
 
Let me check the dimensions again. It says as follows
Head tube 4 3/4"
Top tube (center to center) 18 1/2"
Top of seat post to center of bottom bracket 13"
Seat post tube inner dia. 1"
Fork tube inner dia. 1"

This is frame only no forks
 
That's a frame for a 20" bike. You need a frame with 18" from bottom bracket to seat post if you want to use 26" wheels without any mods. Gary
