Avoid Flying Pigeon unless you want it as a novelty item. The parts are non-standard, somewhat low quality and new bikes are often missing some things so getting a working bike can be a challenge and fixing anything that breaks a greater challenge. As a novelty item that you don't rely on to actually work I highly recommend them though.
It can be turned into a decent bike with some effort. Made mine into a nice a faux path racer for a fraction of the cost of a pashley govner. Its all standard size components so everything can be changed easily and inexpensively if one doesn't keep the rod brakes.
