I wish I had pictures of the girls bike I have with very similar features. I believe it has the same cranks that I have yet to be able to remove, and the same stem. It's badged "Standard" made in Germany. Unfortunately searching for Standard bicycle on Google returns pretty crap results so I couldn't find much info on the brand.

The forum has had prior thread or two on Standard of Germany examples.

Just to confuse things a bit there is also a Jaguar Standard badge from that nation.

Sweet Original Standard (Goebel) | Vintage Lightweight Bicycles

Picked up this sweet looking bike last week... can't find any info on the web. I was told there were only 18 sold in the US? Do I have anything here? I'm not really wanting to sell the bike, my wife loves the ride so all is good either way. It's just killing us to not have any idea what we...

Thank you.

Unfortunate that head cannot be seen more clearly.

Unable to tell if it is lugless, bulge-formed or truly lugged.

The prominent complex lugs on the head of your machine are a very good clue for you to keep an eye out for in the effort to locate a match...

I just need to figure out exactly your definition of complex lugs. The reason being it is very unclear to me. I know this is often the case with unfamiliarity. You can see the “ghost” lines on my bike that I cannot. If there was an existing lug head that was clear it would be very helpful. Did any of the bikes above look to have this detail juvela?

wrt chainset posted immediately above -

The Styria/Steyr/Puch/Austro-Daimler entity is certainly large eno' that it is within conceivability that they might make some of the own chainsets but doubt it to be the case. One possible maker of the set in the citation is Thun. Do not question that the set listed may have come off of a Steyr product.

German manufacturers were pretty obsessive about at least labeling/stamping parts with their name. I can't say they made all of their parts in house but they liked to give that impression.

This is a Scheuer "Aristocrat" kid's bike I cleaned up a few years ago (disregard the Schwinn saddle) - it has the same chainwheel as OP's. This is a note I made in the customer's digital album, "Designed and marketed by American entrepreneur William Scheuer, this model bicycle was constructed in W. Germany and imported into the USA during the 1960's for the growing American trade."

No markings on the crankset but included is a pic during the cleaning.

Here is a non lug frame President. The branding has no bearing on features but you guys already knew that !
