after your suggestion to have a close look at the choppers I thought i'd take a couple of close ups
the plastic is colourless under the chrome finish I would have thought fakes would have been made from coloured versions
here's hoping
Also, I do not see an ejector ring on the front, top of the cross member of the Stingeroo handlebar. I have only seen the absence of this ejector ring on preproduction or very early production (chrome issue) handlebars. Nearly all production models will have it.

I think the chrome handlebar bikes are both looking pretty genuine as both have the white plastic underneath.

This is one I recently re-photographed as I was sorting out all my Citroën CX models and photographing them all. I picked it up very cheap, in fact probably cheaper than most of the production ones I have acquired.

:) :D :P
