Looking for stems, hard to find apparently :-\

Hi all
I've currently got the following stem: 60mm., 6 deg angle, oversize clamp @ 115 grams. I find it a bit too low and I'm looking for a similar stem (weight and length, possibly marginally shorter) that has a greater angle. Something like 15 - 25 degrees would be interesting.
I've found stems that have greater angles but they’re usually way too long or way too heavy or way too pricey.
I'd appreciate anyone who could tip me in the right direction or if you've come across something like what I'm looking for. I've been looking high and low but haven't quite found it yet...
Seems what I'm looking for is a bit unusual or have I not been looking in the right places?

oversize, 60mm, 25deg rise - in stock and relatively cheap.
135g (or there abouts).
Girlie has one on her bike, and it's a stem, and it works.How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

With that reach and rise, it'll feel a lot shorter than the measurements suggest!How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Thanks for all the replies guys! Really helps a lot!
The On-One stem seem to be the most fitting option so far, budget included. Never shop from eBay unless I'm cornered so haven't looked there... Only wished they had a 60mm. 17 degree rise as well, could have tried out both. :-)
At the moment my position and weight is stretched a bit too much forward and I'd rather not get a new handlebar (with a rise). Prefer to switch stem first and see if that helps. Hopefully the On-One will do the job. :-)
Thanks again!0 -

What about a higher rise handlebar to bring the front end up?0

I'd rather keep my current handlebars if I can. Less hassle replacing the stem than the bar and a new bar is going to be more expensive.
The On-One stem mentioned above seem to fit the bill, we'll see when I get it fitted... :-)0
