The history of Liyang:

In 1971, Mr. Siu had a chance went to New York Bicycle Export Show in United States, and he discovered the road bike could be done in Taiwan. In his idea, he was thinking to manufacture in Taiwan and export to all over the world. Therefore, he bought the sample and brought to his home town. It was so difficult to start with, because there was no body making similar components at that time. However, Mr. Siu decided to invited many venders to making new modes and start to build the road bike in Taiwan by ourselves. In 1972, Liyang trading became Liyang Industrial, Ltd., and factory was established in Taipei. At that time, there was only one assembly line, and 700 bikes can be made in one day. At this time, Liyang has started its OEM bicycle mission for worldwide.
