Missing brake bits from Flying Pigeon bicycle
 

My son's made in mainland China Flying Pigeon ("The All-Steel Bicycle")
is missing some of the front brake bits.

See the album at

(Ignore the Jamis BB photo, that's for another subject.)

The tire size (40-635 28 X 1-1/2) is described on Sheldon's site as
found on "Indian Rod-brake roadsters," which pretty much describes these
brakes.

If anyone knows of a source for the missing brake bits, it would be a
great help as the bike is a matter of great pride for my son.

On another subject, the folk at the LBSs said that these tires are no
longer available. True?

You should say where you or your son are located.

example.

Your LBS is too L.

The tires you can get at "http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/tires/635.html"

They also claim to have some parts available but it looks like you're
missing a lot.

I'm sure that if you go to China you can find these pieces.

Andrew Muzi imports genuine Indian Rod-brake roadsters;
http://www.yellowjersey.org/EASTMAN.HTML. Send him an email to see if
he has the proper parts.

I did a web search for 'roadster spares'. Here's the first result:

I've seen them all over the place in Cuba, too.
