Not to take this thread to far off its tracks, but there actually is a green band bendix hub based off the kickbacks... don't think I'd call it lime though.
Red band 60-64
Yellow band 65-70
Blue band OD 65-70
Green band ??? Its a single speed based off the yellow and blue band models. Uses some of the internals but no gears inside. My guess is it was made before the Bendix 70 as a cost cutting measure. Shared parts and same size spokes for the bike mfg.

I had heard of this mythical green band kick back for a long time that had different gear ratios and stronger internals. But its not (haven't seen any paper work on them) they are single speeds. I've seen 4, one was just a repainted red band but the others are singles. There are 2 members here that have them.

Nice Lime. I’ve seen this photo and a couple more years ago, but they are 10-20 footers.
Would it be possible to get “recent” additional photos up close of the Top Bar, Chain Guard and Fork please.
I recall this bike has a Silver Glow Tufted seat ??
Plus, what month is this long frame ‘65?
Thanks.

I believe’65 was the last year for Flamboyant Lime so you may be hunting a one year only combination. My observation has been that if you are willing to open the wallet wide enough something will pop up. V/r Shawn

I'm ready.....
