All About Giant Bicycles
This company was established as an OEM bicycle manufacturer in 1972, making bicycles that eventually ended up with different branding. Some of these machines, most of which were made in Taiwan, were made for Schwinn and other extremely popular brands. However, Giant didn't stay an OEM for long. They soon branched out with their own line of bicycles.
As of the mid 1980s, Giant was making their own high end bike line with their own branding. They were quickly known as a worldwide manufacturer of high quality bikes, selling in more than fifty countries. Over ten thousand different resellers offer Giant bicycles, with more than five million individual bikes sold over the course of this company's long history.
Giant also offers commuter hybrids. These bikes are effective transportation for people who've chosen, for environmental, health, or economic reasons, to bike to work. There are too many models available to describe in just one article, so check out the Giant website to see all their current offerings in these categories.
Giant's advanced road bike frame was introduced in 2006. It's a high end frame, made from carbon fiber, with an interesting change to its design. The seatpost is integrated into the frame. This means that all frames must be fitted to the owner carefully at the dealer, and can be difficult for trading or selling bikes later. However, this minor inconvenience is a tradeoff for lighter weight and better rigidity - two very important factors.
The company also employs a large number of engineers and designers to improve their designs. They were one of the first companies to mass produce high quality aluminum frame bicycles. They were also one of the first big companies to create composite bicycle frames. Giant, like many other bicycle manufacturers, sponsors cycling teams. They currently sponsor the Team Columbia men's and women's teams, as well as their own mountain bike team.
Giant has had a long history of bicycle production, under the company's own brand and others. The wide selection Giant offers means that you'll be able to find the one that works for your riding style, as well as your budget. Just make sure you do a little bit of research before you buy, so you'll be able to choose from the large number of options. Any rider, of any age and experience level, can find the right bike for his or her needs by looking at selections from Giant.
