The seller claims it's 24", but there's no way in hell; more like 21". Much too small for me, alas... Still, it is very worthy of being rescued and having its originality preserved.

I kinda like the drilled out rear dropouts even though they are a bit wonky! it does have some nice detailing on. Cant discern the logo on the crank arm which does not match the logo in the fork crown for "F". I would guess this around 53 cm. I believe the 24 is reference to the rear cog on the 3 speed freewheel. So the gearing is 51/49 chainrings and 24t largest cog - possibly 18/21/24.
