I ride all my Muni on my Nimbus II 24". May not be perfect but nothing has broken and it's fun as hell!

I second nurse ben. Trying will help you decide. I did not have that luxury but a 20" as mentioned is slow as slow gets... but are fun for messing around, trials, flat land etc. My GF is learning to ride and finds my 26" muni easier then the 20" because it has much more control and it "sluggish" to ride.

If you're a skater, get a 24" Nimbus II
If you are a road biker, get a 29" Nimbus II
If you are a mountain biker, get a 26" Nimbus Muni

A 20" will be too small for riding any distance, they are more for messing around, doing tricks, trials, etc...

Ha, I just realized I'm all three of those, which is why I need at least three unis. Now to tell the wife.

I just got back from Unicycle.com
I bought the 24" Nimbus II and upgraded to a KH street saddle.
Thank again to everyone for helping me out. Now I'm off to learn to ride the thing.
