We stock a variety of low-end replacement parts, as well as a cache of Velo Orange, Origin 8, Shimano, and other specialty parts most shops have no need for (Sturmey Archer three speed shifter cables or pawl springs anyone? 3S bottom bracket spindles? Anyone?).

LACBC, Eastside Bike Club, law enforcement, KPCC member, KCRW member, and student discounts available (i.e. an instant 5% off with some sort of proof - credible stories, tales of wonder, and amusement accepted). We also do plain old barter, but you'll have to inquire within for that (no, we don't exchange your old bikes for our working bikes - sorry).



Flying Pigeon Bicycle Support 

Your Flying Pigeon bicycle will need to be assembled by a professional shop mechanic as it will require a lot of speciality bike tools and knowledge to get up and running safely and properly.

If you have recently purchased a Flying Pigeon bicycle, and it has had a technical hiccup - fret not! Flying Pigeon LA is diligently working to provide you with the information and components you'll need to fix your PA-02 or PB-13. Looking for something specific on your roadster? Contact us.

With that said, our Flying Pigeon brand bicycles use proven technology from the middle of the 20th century. In most parts of the world, this technology has been in continuous use for over 50 years. With a basic set of tools, just about anyone can patch up a Flying Pigeon.

  4. In the case of the wrong item being shipped in error or an item damaged in shipment, we will cover the shipping costs for the return shipment and the replacement item at ground shipping rates.
  5. Small imperfections in the polished finish of a frame, crankset, chainring, hub or rim, brake lever, handlebar, uneven stitching of a pannier, etc., things that have no affect whatsoever on the performance of a component but are only noticeable upon close inspection, do not constitute cosmetic defects warranting replacement at our expense.
