To answer your question, the second bike that I ever owned was a gold-copper USA made Schwinn Fastback with rams's horn handlebars. The wheels were 20 X 1 3/8 size, with corresponding Schwinn tires to fit. I have no idea and cannot remember what the brake reach was, but I would assume that it was a pretty long reach. Can't remember a 24" wheel Schwinn Fastback, but I know that there is a Schwinn bike forum on line that you can probalby look up the info.
