Can Buy Touring Cycle in Xian, China?

I've never been to Xi'an, but I've been reading a few forums about the Silk Road route and apparently there is a fairly new Giant shop outside the city walls. Giant's are usually the most reliably good quality bike to buy in China (although watch out for fakes). I can't find the address as I can't read mandarin, but the Chinese page of the Giant Bike website (Giant.com.cn) should have a listing of recommended sellers. There is also a company called Xacd which makes top level titanium bike frames for major brands in Xi'an (xacd.com.cn), but I doubt they would sell a completed bike.

However, from what I remember last time I was in China, 'branded' bikes such as Giants are quite expensive and rarely available second hand and local 'unbranded' ones are usually very poor quality. I would strongly suggest looking for a suitable bike in your own hometown and bringing it with you or having it shipped there if thats not convenient.
