The measurement is to the actual top of the top tube, which has extra length for a collar. If you can ride a 57cm c-c, the 24" should be OK.
The days of finding Sports Tourers at garage sales seem to over. The Superior (of that type) was only made for one year. It has Suntour derailleurs, a Nervar crank and no built in kickstand. I would stay clear of the Ashtabula crank Super Sport. There are decent BMX conversion BBs though if you want to go cotterless.
