	The Flying Pigeon looks very much like my Caloi from the 70's.
Right down to those unsafe brakes, 28" tires and strong carry rack at
the back(put a wife, a child and shopping on it and it'll still go).
Though I stopped riding it in 2014, it still works....
	The only thing the Caloi does not have is a chainguard. Mine
did not have a double top-bar. Caloi dropped them in the 60's, but
Monarks carried on until the 80's (Monark Barra Dupla)
