I agree, tube has a pretty thick wall. As I will be using on a Hardtail MTB I might as well think it's a good weight for the strength offered.

Tuned Sram Red Rear Derailleur, 11 hours worth of work on it, final weight = 104.67 Grams. Saving of just over 40 grams. Have ridden over 5000km on it with no major failures (bar jockey wheels, see "AFC Pulley Wheel Review" Thread). Light and functional, and i think its pretty too... Plans to go under 95 Grams yet!
What did you actually do to shave so much weight of the rear mech?

hollow spindle, ti spring, aluminum sleeves, ceramic bearing, aluminium nut, plastic end caps and a bunch of material taken of the body. Take all the grease out before you weigh them

Lots and lots of re shaping and work. The mount bolt is significantly shaped (conclaved in the centre) that took a lot of weight out. The front parallel arm took a massive hot to with the dremelling. Lots of little things.
I guess there's worse hobbies than making a bike light? Right?
