There is not one currently listed on the page. Why not? Sure, you can't cover everyone but i, as well as others would like to see the maestro bikes and other Giant offerings.

Thanks.

I'd really like to see the 05 Giant Road Bikes. I know this is an MTB site, but it's also affiliated with roadbikereview.com - so there.

And thanks in advance for pics details etc.

How is it decided who gets a virtual booth here on mtbr?

Do manufactuerers have to pay for it?

If not, then how is the list made for who gets it?

good question.

I guess the answer to my question is no. The brand names seem to be very similar to last year.

It's like paying for ad space in a print magazine. Manufacturers pay to have their booths and stuff highlighted in the virtual trade show. Please don't blame mtbr for any booths missing.

yeah i figured vir. booths were a paid for thing like ad space and such.

i think it's a worth while use of ad money for bike makers, especially for strictly online sellers like Ibex.

also because of the politics in what gets and does not get review in magazines, the virtual booth is a good way to get product awareness out there for often overlooked makers like KHS and Raliegh.
