Look for a Nitto Deluxe stem, which has a longer quill and can be found in shorter reaches as well (eg. 80-90-100mm). If you raise the stem higher, that also shortens the reach. I have a Nitto Deluxe on several of my bikes and it is very high quality, equivalent to the Pearl with a longer quill. My bikes are all set up with the handlebar about the same height as the saddle, and that shortens the reach quite a bit. The Nitto Technomic stem has an even longer quill and is available in wide range of reaches.
