I don't think I classify as a typical road rider either. Exemplified when I turned up at sign on for an open hillclimb last Sunday: the sign on lady took one look at me and said: "Are you an actual rider?"
I was surprised at how light my HC bike got when I started adding bits from the garage, eg. the rear rim I've had for about 7 years hanging up unused, and it built into an 845g wheel with Rev spokes and a chunky Novatec track hub, which isn't bad for a track wheel.

~1600W is not 'regular road use'.
I'm riding the Tarmac tomorrow. I never bother to take anything off it. I do have skinnier tyres fitted I think so there's my few grams. In my case it's all pretty irrelevant when you're 80kg+ and riding for a laugh.
