1600 g IS light on SSFG. Most people here ride with boat anchor deep V or stock BD offerings, straight gauge spokes, etc.... my guess is the avg. wheelset weight of a SSFG reader is at least 1800g. It is all relative. This isn't the weight weenie road forum.

Build a seriously light fixed wheelset (~1300g range) and your wheels end up costing more than your bike.

To the OP-- why not build your own?

road, clincher...check. i'm quite familiar with the kinlin offerings. did the OP require a track hub?

1600g is not light. really, not. which is not to say that sub-1600 is heavy, nor that light is necessary...but the OP said "*LIGHT*", and 1600g ain't that. why are you all so touchy?
