The Blue Band 2 speed Overdrive.

First offered for the 1965 Schwinn Stingrays as an option.
This option always came with a front caliper brake. The exception was the Super Deluxe with the springer.

Bendix not only made great functional rear hubs, but they also had cool advertising.

Top notch as always. Great score Chris!

Yes and great info on the wider rear forks on the kick back and that the automatic always came with the front brake on the non super deluxe models

.. I’ve had people question the front brake on my 68 blue band..

Nice Standard!
What are the two letter code on the LH rear fork?
What color is that front fork?

I'm also kind of curious if you've found any stamps on the inside of your Overdrive brake arm??

I think all I've come up with so far is a couple of "H 8" and one "A 8" believed to have been off of 68 Mini Twins. None of the earlier kickback hubs I've had were marked at all on the inside of the arms.

Looks like L 7 on back of the brake arm
