no its not you can have 26" mod

its the drop on the frame where the back wheel goes in if its vertical its a stock and if its horizontal where you use a chain tug then its mod

So your saying the 20" Atomz is a stock simply because it hasn't got horizontal dropouts?

It's to do with wheel size and rear hub spacing.

26" wheels, 135mm spacing - stock

26" wheels, 118mm spacing - mod-stock

20"/19" wheels, 118mm spacing - mod

Edit: 118mm spacing is more common on mods and 135mm on stock.

Mod-stock is just a mix of stock size wheels and mod rear hub spacing hence the name, and I don't think there's a term for 24".
