Here's Fuji 24" wheel junior bike in Baltimore:
https://baltimore.craigslist.org/bik/3257323937.html
I checked it out, and it's kind of a tank, with steel rims, etc. I passed.

IF you live in Europe and want a good 24" JRB (and have the cash):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HERMANN-St...ht_2279wt_1189
The seller is very good and easy to communicate with (personal experience,and no, I'm not an "affiliate"). Ask puchfinland before bidding, though.

this is a NOS bike,
the 7 speed rear really puzzles me-its 126mm o.l.d.- (chainline issues plague classic juniors with short wheelbase)
the package looks really nice
the crankset dates from the 60's and is rarer then rare-
i wonder if it has matching hubs which are also very rare.
"Hi - well the company is out of business - we bought the Junior Race Bike in the late 80's as a complet bike. We don't have any other Junior parts left, but some mor Junior steel bikes, 20" and 24" - we will put them on EBAY in a few weeks. Best regards H.Hermann"

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
My good freind in north finland sent nelli a present
real Junior cycling shorts!
He has a few sets still, and I said I would spread the word, Im happy to get them to you guys.
"Shorts are NOS and NIB. Manufactured by Kisapuku which used to be in Rauma.
I have 2 x 150 cm and 2 x 160 cm á 10 Euro."
Nelli is wearing a pair of 160cm
she is 145cm/57inches high
PM me, they are very difficult to find in these tiny sizes.

the measurements below are for tubulars-
24" tubular rims = about 525 tape measure from outside to outside of rim
22" tubular rims = 480-485 of rim
these are 24" wheels. Rims are tubular Fiamme red sticker. Cheers
- yesh999
he still has the rimset- I asked for more info.
the TA 160mm cranks are the same as Nelli's 24" but the chainrings are not complete- no way I would pay that kind of money for the frame.
the complete bike would be worth 150ish
shame the arse is breaking the cranks and chainrings- thats under the belt
then in ebay is a NOS set of 3TTT handlebars for 70 bucks!

Traded some e-mails with my new Sicilian friend. hope he gets back to me. If there are any other 450A wheeled bikes you see please let me know.
On other topics, I took my 7 y.o. and her Gitane on the 50 mile loop of the North Shore Century (local organized ride)
She had a blast!
Here's a pic of her about 40 miles in:

I will do a scan thru my regular websites in the morning-
its an odd size-do you think by next summer your child will be on a 20"???
think a bit about it...
1lugnut has a 20" junior- you can ask if he wants out as he is stumped with the unknown wheelsize.

If not now, she soon will be! That's a good thing.
Thanks! It's okay , I have 2 more after the 5 y.o. but I think it'll be at least one full season+ before she can get on the Gitane.
Lugnut's bike is very nice but I don't have a lot of time to go sourcing rims etc. to get it going for spring. Still thinking about it though.

WHEELCHAIR RIMS!!!
clinchers
found a guy in germany who parts up wheelchairs
he sells the hubs off and the rims are sitting around..
I asked him about them...and trying to negotiate some kind of price.
maybe 30€ a pair plus shipping? if he got tires he should include them for this..
I have no need for them, but if more then one forumite is interested the rims should be sent directly to one of you guys to save the international shipping.
what I know
Alesa belgium 24 x 1"
540 x 19
tires on mine are;
25-540/541 24x1 600x25A
there is a set of Mavec junior levers up for grabs from Ebay.the size needs to be confirmed as actually being juniors

Well , no response from the Sicilian for two weeks. So if anyone can find a 450A road bike with at least rear gears and a 50cm stand over hight, it would be appreciated.
Mike- I couldn't get anyone to facilitate the French bike (nice geometry but it was single speed)

Yesterday while cleaning up at the co-op , I found a set of 'Christophe Mini' toe clips. Not really sure if they're designed for junior riders , or just the smaller footed among us. They're not going to do any good at the co-op so if anyone building up junior bikes has a need for a pair just lemme know.
