The one I posted a pic of is a 24". Who knows what happens now and then. I can't believe that these are all bogus Flying Stars. Maybe just a few anomalies. Because a brochure doesn't confirm them doesn't mean they can't exist.

Very possible, but it's real easy to swap out a chain guard on these few too. It takes nothing compared to the work it took for all the Corvette 5 speeds that had the spoke protectors change out to the 1964 big chrome piece. There were so many half the world thought those were factory issue.
 
24" 1955 Flying Star
Before:
1251718

After (made to match the 20 & 26" ones I have)
1251719

No DX or straightbar style here.
This 24 is the third one I have had. First one got destroyed, second one ended up too pitted in a couple of areas to re-build.

i have come to the conclusion my flying star is a prototype worth 3 times the asking price!! only one in existence!
