I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but you need Crank Bros. Twin Ti Egg Beaters at 218 grams a pair. Light enough for any road race weenie, but still has a strong cromoly axel. I know... "they're mtb peadals" *wah*, you will need a shoe that accepts SPDs. The positive is, they're stronger than any other lite-weight road pedal and 90% servicable. As my Hill-billy friend would say, "... it's like a sore pecker,... you can't beat it". I'm between 205-235 pounds and I run with standard egg beaters. I don't recommend ti axels for someone our size.
