Steel Syncros stem

[Guigui58]

I made a separate thread about an old Cannondale I found here.

One of the parts it came with is this 1" Syncros stem, which is surprisingly made out of steel and not aluminum. It also uses an expander and not an wedge like "regular" Syncros stems.

I would appreciate some insight, did Syncros made steel stems at some point or could it be a fake?

I wanna say it is legit old school Syncros.

It sure looks like one.

They did make steel ones, but not many of them. Interested in selling/trading?

Thank you for the answers! For now, I plan to keep it, as I’ll most likely use it in a future project.

Of course. If you change your mind, or fancy a trade then give me a shout

I think I've got a box of wedges for these stems, well the expander plug things. They came to me with a steel syncros stem but it had a wedge, never noticed if it had a slot cut in it, it was a while ago and long gone now.
