Search eBay for Tom Ritchey Pro stems (for stiffness) or WCS stems (for lightness). I would go with the Pro stems. You can get them cheap, and they come (old stock) in -17* or -6* angles (new stock).
If they are stiff enough for the pro peleton/elite track sprinters, they will be stiff enough for you.

Broham, I hate to be the on to do this, but 31.7 and 31.8 mm are the same thing. 1.25 inches is the real measurement which: 1.25 inches = 31.75 millimeters. Some people round down some people round up.
