- wtallis 7y agoShimano doesn't sell bicycles, just a lot of bicycle components and accessories.
- microcolonel 7y agoFair enough, I just couldn't think of any other manufacturers even in the industry that make more parts or complete bicycles (that I can actually buy) than Giant does.
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoShimano is the world’s major bicycle-component manufacturer, but they do not do much production of frames or complete bikes, and Giant certainly leads in that regard.
- stereo 7y agoShimano makes bicycle parts, not bicycles. Giant sells bicycles, and some of them come with Shimano parts.
- plausibilities 7y agoShimano also makes expensive high-end fishing reels. They go for anywhere from a couple hundred to 1k+ (like the Stellas) apiece and you typically want 3 - 5 rod/reel setups when going on a fishing trip.
