I like the 24" ones too, and have a few in the group. Several of them are accompanied by the 20" and 26" siblings.
Here's what live with us:
'52 Juvenile (DX) Ballooner - 3 Sizes

'55 Flying Star (3 Sizes)

'59 Tornado Arch-Bar

'60 Corvette

'61 Tornado (3 sizes)

62 Typhoon (3 sizes)

'64 Fleet (3 sizes)

'65 American (3 sizes)

'65 Fiesta

The red Typhoon I had as my first ever bike was of the 24" variety, and these are a reminder to me of that bike. They're all hoot to ride. Takes me back about 55 or so years to the first one I had.

Any Hornets 24 Inch :eek:

Any Hornets 24 Inch :eek:

The 24" Hornet was not the same tube configuration as the 26". I have a 24" frame on the wall here that I have not had the time to do anything with yet. One day in the future....

This frame was used for the 24" Hornet and also for the 24" Spitfire model - Not a "straightbar" as the 26" was. The early 50's 24" Hornets were cantilever frames.
REC
PS: Based on further reading/research, later ones also had canti frames - these were in-between
