1965 J39-1 Flamboyant Lime Stingray 2 speed

[60sstuff]

Another Factory Original Paint Stingray with the 2 speed Overdrive Blueband rear hub and front caliper brake.

HA = Aug. 23, 1965 long frame.

The Lime on this bike glows with that Aluminum coat bleeding through the finish coat.
It looks as though someone may have waxed the reverse screen as it’s a little light, but still nice.
A couple nicks here and there but this Lime pops. Top bar is excellent.

Original chrome and OEM White Tufted Seat.

Enjoy an old 60’s muscle bike.

Flam Lime with the Bendix goodies.

I will add that the Blueband Overdrive on my Black bike and this Lime bike work superb.
This is a really cool design 2 speed.
Take off fast, gently kick back and then cruise.

One for the shelf.

I’ve had this spare 9-5 Lime fork that was missing the correct caliper, but not any longer.
I just purchased the cool script “Schwinn Approved” 1020 unit to complete this fork.

Absolutely love this old style script that came on my above HA Lime and my CA Black Stingray two speed models.

When did the Blue Band hubs start as a Deluxe Stingray feature?

The 2 speed kick-back Blue Band hubs were a New option at the beginning of 1965 for the Stingray.
This hub was available on the Standard, Deluxe and Super Deluxe.
