Men's Spaceliner - Any clues to determine wheel size from photo?

[wheelbender6]

This is a 24" Flightliner, if it is any help. Fork should be identical.

I'm betting 26"

I am putting my money on 26. If it was a 24 inch it would have 28 spoke rims, not 36.

I received a pic of the serial number today and it is a 26" 1964/65 single speed. Thanks again for everyone's opinion on this - good points on the #spokes and the photo angle can be deceptive.

Be careful with the spoke-number test; I have a 24" Huffy Good Vibrations that has 36 spokes. The pic below of a girls 24" Flightliner appears to have 36 spokes.

Just out of curiosity....couldn't you have got a picture of the dimensions on side of the tire? I guess the serial number will give you the year and hub speed. Anyway...mystery solved

Yes...at the time I posted I was going on limited info by the CL seller. While waiting for a response/more pics I wrote the CABE...those Spaceliners don't sit around...that one was sold but not to me.

Yes, 46901 is the Sears catalog # for '64-5 Spaceliners, the stamp on the bikes generally have an extra 0 or 1 at the end of the code for some reason.

Can someone tell me what the diameter of the chain ring is on one of these? V/r Shawn

It's been months since I last visited the site (life has been busy), but better late than never. The chain ring is 7 1/2" dia (give or take a fraction of an inch.
