Vendors that carry the Flying Pigeon are a rarity, so when an IMPORTER opens up in my own back yard I have to make note of it.
Nathan Einschlag of NYC Flying Pigeon has a bike he wants to sell you! Nathan lived in China for 2 years so he KNOWS Flying Pigeon. He's also a dyed in the wool New Yorker, so he KNOWs what the market wants and it's not what you might expect.
Sure, there he offers the "Dutch" type roadster so popular right now in New York, but gone are the brake rods and cotters. The gear is much more modern and reliable. Calipers will provice the stopping power in the wet NYC weather.
And if I do say so, the step through version is particularly attractive.
He's also offering an FP track bike, inspired no doubt by the ongoing Fixie craze. And as we know from previous posts, the Flying Pigeon makes an excellent basis for customization. These fixie bikes should be doubly so. Looks tasty.
Best of luck to Nathan in his new endeavor. May the Pigeon Fly High!
You can also find NYC Flying Pigeon on Facebook and on Twitter.
Nice! Though rod-brakes would be more for the.... Luddite / Traditionalists in the midst. I'm wondering.... being a "dyed in the wool New Yorker"... ho insanely high-priced will they be? ;-) That fixie is... intense. Most interesting wheels / tyres.
I've contacte Nathan as to pricing.
Best of luck in his entrepreneurial endeavors and thanks as always for posting up cool stuff!!!

I've been collecting vintage bikes and I guess this link will be a big help for me in locating the best bike for me.
