Small adult or large child, 26" wheels is a pretty good indication that it was intended for an adult or nearly adult rider. FWIW my wife rides a 17" Raleigh Colt which was considered a tweens bike. Most bikes intended for younger riders would have 24" wheels on them. Those seem to be fairly rare from makers like Raleigh, I seldom if ever see them.
