the syntace f99 was subject to a product recall a couple of years ago, due to a design fault leading to possible failure around the steerer clamp. they say on their website what age range is effected, and the stems are datestamped.
i had one, 120mm, 25.4, you had to take a picture of hacksawing it in half and email it to them, then they sent you out a brand new one. they even agreed to send me a 100mm instead of a 120. unfortunately they also made it a 26.0
kept meaning to send it back but i never got round to it so sitting idle.
that said i used the 120 for some fairly serious off road and never had any problems. just thought you might wanna check it out.
also...and this is in no way related... i might be interested in buying that extralite if you dont go through with the trade
