The Specialized S-works carbon stem is 10 degrees. Not extremely heavy at 150g.

Thomson X-2.....10 degree or flip to -10
The Thomson X-2 is about 140gr. depending on size; it is 31.8 and is extremely strong and reliable. IMO a stem is not a place to lose alot of grams; if a stem fails....you are in BIG trouble.
Thomson is competetive with the lower weight stems without sacrificing safety and reliability.

in aluminum or magnesium. The aluminum one is about 125 grams. Don't know the weight of the mag stem but I bet it's lighter.

The EC90 is a lightweight -10 degree stem. They claim 130gm. They also state the stem uses a collet mechanism is place of a internal steerer tube mechanism. They claim this weight savings makes the stem equivalent to a 100gm "regular" stem.

I am also in the process of building up a bike and have decided to go with the easton EC90 bar, stem and post. Not cheep stuff but quite nice.
