Engineers are getting smarter with advancing design, materials and manufacturing technologies. It's only a matter of time before someone comes out with an even lighter and with decent stiffness 100mm stem for 31.8mm bars than the 82 gram Extralite Roadstem OC.

Other than those.
Just kidding... okay, so maybe that face plate isn't responsible for amazing mass numbers. (unless those are steel bolts)

10cm @ 100 grams. Just off the top of my head:
Rotor S3X
Kcnc Team Issue
Kcnc Ti Pro
Kcnc Sc Wing
New Ultimate
Tune 4.0
I would prefer Ritchey over any of these.
