16" 1964 Stingray Deluxe

[Confused kid]

Hello and thank you for reading my post I just joined because I have what appears to be a 1964 Stingray but it's only a 16 in and in 1964 catalog I don't see any mention of a 16 in is this possibly a mistake or do they exist?

Hi, and welcome to the CABE! This section is for problems using the site. We'll get you recombobulated to the right place, no need to post it again.

Meanwhile, do you have pictures of the bike and serial number stampings for the bike?

First 2 # are n4 followed by what I think is another 4... supper hard to read

looks like a 20" from here. ??

Maybe I should have started by asking how to measure a bicycle rim size I assumed it was like a car and you measure from surface-to-surface of the rim which is about 16 in on this I assume the 20 would be closer to 20 in

It is 16 and 3/4 from outer rim lol to rim lip.

you measure the size by reading what it says on the tire.

Pretty hard to read but could see a 20 x .... it looks like a traction grip tire so it' prob a 20 in then ? The tires are so beat up i didn't even think to look at that haha

16" rim + 2" tire + 2" tire = 20. With bikes it's the overall diameter, unlike car tires.
