30 Degree Negative rise 120mm Stem

I bought an adjustable stem to tweak my aero position. I'd now like to replace the very heavy adjustable stem with a standard lightweight stem. But I'm having problems finding such a beast.

What I have is a 120mm stem with a negative 30 degree drop. Does someone make such a stem that's not adjustable?

Is there a lighter option than the Ritchey?

Seriously? The Comp already is a light stem, at 155 grams for 110 length. Ritchey's high end stems are only 30 grams lighter, barely more than an ounce. Won't make a hoot's worth of difference in your performance.

And no, I'm not aware of any lighter stem in this configuration.

OK. The Comp sounded heavy at first. Then I looked up the weight of the Forte (Performance brand) adjustable stem I'm currently using and it's 255 grams. So the Comp will save me 100 grams. Nice.
