Giant Bicycles / 捷安特

Giant Bicycles enters the wiki through No.199 自行车 200年 as the Taiwan-founded bicycle company associated with Liu Jinbiao / 刘金彪. The source says Giant entered mainland China after 1992 and opened a Shanghai store in 1993, bringing color, aluminum frames, mountain-bike styles, multiple gears, trial rides, fitting advice, and specialty-store service into a market used to heavier state-brand bicycles.

Giant’s page is the consumer-market counterpart to China Bicycle Shortage Economy. Once tickets loosened and supply expanded, brand, service, design, retail experience, and user fit mattered more than simply getting a durable bicycle.
