Where are you getting those numbers? I've seen the selects in the 210-220g range, and the xxx lites in the 140-150g range (which still isn't light)
But I'm a weightweenie, so if you don't care about 50g, don't listen to me

Depending on what is on there now, I disagree. For a minimal investment (~$50-60 if he shops around) he can drop around 100g, gain the ability to run aluminum freewheels, and get better shifting. Cassette is a great place to start saving weight and gaining performance.
