what about something like this? https://www.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/53686377.html
(it's a mtb stem, but it might work)

The steel Salsa stems are my favorite choice. They are domesticly produced and fairly sleek.
They come in 0 degree rise and -10 which will give you a pretty agressive position if you cut the steer tube low. There is a nice track bike from Vanilla Cycles pictured with that stem.
If you don't like the looks of the 2 bolt face plate, try to track down this one
which they stopped making last year. There are quite a few floating around.
Performance wise, those things are STIFF, and will give you very good power transfer while sprinting, especially when paired w/ steel drops.

The ITM Eclypse is also a nice looker. Cro-mo to boot.
Forgot to mention that the 1" version is like $11 on the Icycles site.
