Yep, roughly 160 with my clothes and shoes on. The front tire feels a little squishy when I'm sprinting or climbing out of the saddle, but I haven't had a pinch flat for a long time. (And that was when I was brand-new to road bikes and didn't know to check the pressure often.

P.S. That said, I wouldn't go any lower than what the chart in the BQ/Frank Berto article suggests. It's a minimum pressure for performance and comfort that works if you check your pressures often, and adjust upward if real-life experience suggests it.
