What are 24" and 26" cruisers classed as? It does look a bit Bomber-ish but they used to have Sturmey Archer gears didn't they?

the bike isnt really like a bomber as they are not looptails and they have a bend on the front forks .it does have a 3 speed hub fitted . i think its quite cool so will probably restore it (animal if i sell it you have first refusal :daumenhoch:) i dont think it would have been an expensive bike its made by president .
as far as i know .
