Don, very intuitive of you...the Raleigh Mountie came in a 24" wheel Junior model and an adult EA3 wheeled version as well. I'm pretty sure they were out in the mid 60's. Camelback frames with SA single coaster hubs.
Had one not long ago...available on all days BUT July 1 cuz the stores are closed.
