I have taken this circuit:
And re-designed it for 20V using Multisim:
I am looking particularly at the currents going through the bases of the various transistors and making sure they are about 20-25mA for the TIPs and about 10-15mA for the 2SC1518s
Does any one see any problems with it?

the values seem ok to me.
I would add a rectifier diode across each bridge transistor to protect against motor 'spikes' could be four diodes, or a bridge rectifier package
I am all for discrete designs (I have made a couple of discrete dc motor drivers for 'toy' robots), the best way to learn, by doing, and its your circuit, but you may also want to consider things like this probably cheaper than your parts :) but the heatsink is puny.
EDIT: poop ! ... the little pcb needs some modification to fit current-sense resistors.
