What size front wheel will you be running... 20''?

Was going to be using the wheel that came with it, not sure on the size. Put it all together and it's far too big so will be cutting the front off and welding another smaller one with all the front brake assembly on it already too.

Judging by the fact that looks like a 26'' wheel mountain bike frame and forks I'd definitely say go smaller. I've got a 24'' dirt jump bike I'm gonna hack up. I'll rip the guts out of the suspension fork so it sits lower then see if iI need to reduce  the wheel size from there .
