Wise BF mechanics, does there existing a road stem that will fit a 1-1/4" steerer tube (looking for 120 or 130mm), has a 6-8 degree rise, and doesn't cost a mint or weigh a ton? Canyon uses a 1-1/4 steerer tube. Trying to figure out what the options are that are not upwards of $200. Thanks!

Canyon and Giant OD2 stems are $50 and under. I've bought new Giant stems off eBay for under $40.
