I'm not going to say we shouldn't put any bike up there just because it promotes a manufacturer residually. Nor am I going to say that we should attempt to get money out of a manufacturer as they'd most likely ask for more in return and I'd be extremely unwilling to concede anything extra.
Actually, let's just say I don't care who the bikes are made by nor who is redisually promoted... it won't change our behaviour. The important thing is that we in general would feel OK putting the community name against it and standing by it (which rules out Create, Unipak and Specialized - as they never did sponsor us).
