There are tons of quil stems out there that would look great on your bike. You should definately go over to the c&v forum and ask about them there. Tons of people will have extra ones laying around that they will part with cheaply. In fact I have this nice NOS SR Sakae Stem sitting on my counter.

Dunno about lighter, but Nitto makes nice quill stems. I don't know of anyone else who does.
Oh wait yea I do. VO rips off everything Nitto makes. That's not really a bad thing though, the quality and prices are good.

Before about 1990, Cinelli stems were built for Cinelli-unique 26.4mm bars. Nothing a little careful shimming won't fix for 26.0mm bars.

Zoom used to make quill stems in 26.0 and 25.4; they claimed weight around the 250g mark. Thin-wall cromoly steel construction and an aluminum quill wedge. Quite the looker, even if not entirely traditional in the sense of the Cinelli 1A.
