I'm the one that made the post about the Flying Pigeon being sold in the US. The guy that imports them is selling them through ebay.
Run a search there. The me's bike is $225.
thanks for the info! i actually contacted the dealer here in New York. i guess they have a showroom on 11th and 1st, while the bikes themselves would be coming from somewhere in brooklyn. i'm going to check them out tomorrow. thanks everyone!
