Hmm... getting mighty interested here...

How do I start :D

Lemme see... obviously, trial frame... but what fork?...

How about 24" wheels???

What's the drive line like?

How do you prevent bashing the chainring? Where do you get teflon bashgards (are they still available)?

Come on guys... tell me... I might swap my AM build for this one :D

Get a trials fork as well. Most frames are designed around a shorter rigid fork sometimes with a fairly small offset. Alot of frames will have a fork that matches well

How about 24" wheels???
Great for street riding, all personal preference at the end of the day but if you want to be Danny Mac and like bunny hops manuals and all that jazz then they are great. Not the best choice if you want to get in to the competition or the big static moves like gaps and sidehops

What's the drive line like?
Do you mean what drivetrain is used? Normally you run singlespeed. Common gearings are 18-15 for 26", 18-14 or 23-18 for 24" and 18-12 for 20".
How do you prevent bashing the chainring? Where do you get teflon bashgards (are they still available)?
Most bashguards are aluminium and a fair bit smaller then what you are familiar with from your all mountain bike. For the 24" street frames though you might run a bashguard similar to what you are used to
