    If you look at the logos (The ram2 on the bars and stem) they look to be in differnt places compared to these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cinelli-ram-2-b ... handlebar/

    That and the fact that they are half price means I would say that they are fake.

    I had a pair of Ram 2's and as per the wiggle pair they had a classic drop, not an ergo like the ones in that pic.

    Saying that, the logo by the steerer hole is the proper thick, clear rubber sticker which would be a bugg3r to copy, and 199 quid ain't bad. I sold mine for 160! :(

    Fakes - the black paintwork looks like splodges whereas on the real ones it's far more co-ordinated
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Thanks, For $129 or £80 its a nice profit if they are fakes.

    Good point. There's shouldn't even be any black paint on them - on an original the the white is the paint - the black is coated carbon 3k weave!
