Well yes, the decade and the millennium were ending. Gone were the madness of the 90s where everything was sold and brands gave crazy ideas to distinguish themselves from the competition.
The brands that moved forward had become large companies and the competition was fierce.
The competition began to be the best showcase to sell and of course, you needed your bicycle to be easily recognizable among a bunch of cyclists crowded at the start of a race.
The corporate colors have arrived, goodbye to gray tones and polished aluminum.
Of course one of the most recognizable colors was Giant's yellow combined with red and that dark blue (or maybe dark purple...I don't know)
Apart from the color, Giant decides to enhance its CU 92 aluminum, basically an Alcoa 6061 with double thermal treatment. Well, it also acquired a package of shares in Alcoa to guarantee the supply of aluminum pipe...these Taiwanese are very intelligent.
A competition replica and a fabulous loose frame are on sale
