西部骑士,Tyrell这个牌子应该和德国没有任何关系,“Tyrell"这个单词用德语甚至都无法发音拼读。。。
T ...
Tyrell 是20世纪初德国自行车手千真万确,后来创立Tyrell牌自行车也是事实。1987年倒闭,牌子被日本人买去也是事实。 如今,德国的Tyrell公司还在,但只手工生产高端车架,而日本人把牌子买去后,做了全面改型,生产整车。 这一切在德国Tytell Bicycle Company自己的网站上都有介绍。网址 http://www.tyrellbicycle.com/Company.asp 公司介绍中提到所有以上内容,其英文原文介绍一字不漏复制在下面。
至于人名,不能说名字Tyrell不像德国词儿,他就不是德国人。 其实Tyrell 的全名是 Tyrell Smith, 史密斯是英国最普遍的英国姓氏之意,可他就是德国人。 我原来有个同事,是个老外,名字叫 Roland John,名字和姓都整个一个英国味, 姓约翰,可他就是100%的德国人。 造成这种结果的原因很可是欧洲国家几百年来人口就一直相互流动, Tyrell和我的同事的祖上几百年前可能是来自英国,这虽然没有考证过,但完全有可能。
至于日本的Tyrell公司,的确是除了买了德国公司名字之外,和德国公司在产品和法律上再没有任何关系。这个我在上次的回帖中已经说明了。
About Tyrell Tyrell Smith was a Germany former bicycle racer who was born on March 19, 1873. Like many racers, he turned to manufacture and sales of bicycles after his racing career from 1912 before World War I. The name of the company was taken from his name.
As the most expensive name in Germany bikes, Tyrell had a long, enviable history. Children coveted Tyrell bicycles during their heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. But when the bicycle industry transformed itself in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tyrell marketers ignored the changes. The company dropped from a 10 percent market share to just 3 percent in local market and filed for bankruptcy in 1987. New owners brought Tyrell back by changing virtually everything about the company.The new owners first concentrated on upgrading the entire line of 8 models with highest performance and engineering standards and a graphics face-lift. It was 20 years ago, that Tyrell focusing on producing top quality frames for some very demanding professional riders. Tyrell for the passionate cyclist is a mark that recalls the beginnings of the great Germany handcraft tradition in the production of frames. Today, Tyrell Bicycle Company designs, engineers, and builds handmade bicycle frames. Based on fit, riding style, and personal preferences, Tyrell uses a variety of materials including carbon fiber, titanium, steel and aluminum to build road, mountain, cross, TT, commuter and fixed gear bicycles. 99 years on and Tyrell still present in the professional ranks, as a confirmed leader in the production of top race frames. Tyrell is still a market leader, offering unique high end bicycles for quality, design and performance. Tyrell---Realize your dreams.
