For 2011 and older model bicycles, please consult your owner's manual or contact Giant or your Authorised Giant Retailer for the applicable warranty information. Thanks to all of our customers over the years, it is a great pleasure to see so many bikes still in daily use! Any questions, photos and comments are welcome at and on Facebook.The following limited warranty applies to all current Giant & Liv bicycles manufactured from 2012 onwards. If you do not have a Laser Sticker, you can still register just put n/a in the box. If your sticker has a scratch-off panel there will be a number underneath, which you can use to check your bike’s authenticity. The Laser Sticker is a holographic sticker recently introduced to combat fraud, usually found around the seat-tube. If you are registering your new bike, the serial number is different from the Laser Sticker Number. In most cases the year of manufacture is given first as described above, so this is one thing to be confident of. Chinese market models have a different system. A certain amount of Taiwan made bikes in the 80s will have a serial number starting with A. Over the years there have been some other systems and lettering, and our record is sadly not complete.

The remaining numbers then refer to the frame’s number within that run (starting from 00001).

If it is a 7, then the frame is aluminum.

Under the current system if there is a letter T after the month, this signifies a steel frame.

The second and third numbers refer to the month of manufacture, so D106# would be June 1991, 2001 or 2011.

Making the frame is the very first stage in our process. Also note that a ‘2013 model’ bicycle will be manufactured in 2012 and in some cases 2011, as we start on orders as early as possible to get them shipped to various locations around the world. You should be able to tell from the style and model which decade it belongs to.

For the vast majority of DAHONs, the serial number will start with a D (which stands for DAHON and on older models H, for Hon and for a while in the 80s DH) and be followed by about 9 numbers.The first number always indicates the last digit of the year of manufacture.

Now you have found your serial number, here is how to decipher those digits: The paint is usually applied over the serial number but it should be easy enough to read. If you have a Chinese market model, you will find it on the front of the headset, for some very old Hon Convertibles it may even be etched on a rear chain or seat stay, inside the hinge and sometimes the serial number may be on the upper part of the bottom bracket. There you will find the serial number stamped into the frame. To date your DAHON, the first place to look is on the bottom bracket, by the crank. Here we take the opportunity to expand on a common question: How can I find out how old my bike is? Since the very first Hon Convertibles made in 1982 we have produced a number of different frame designs and models. One thing we are very proud of at DAHON is how many of our vintage bikes are still out there and in good working order thanks to the care and attention of their owners.
