Nice bike, but won't that make you fat being so light? :D

My bike is a cheapish 14.1 Kg Hybrid and I'm not losing any weight? :) (Though only 8.2 miles a day, with 220ft climb x2)

I assume you mean deep rims?
Deep section wheels are more aero compared to normal shallow wheels. When cycling wind/air resistance is the biggest force acting against you, having an aero bike and holding an aero position means you use less effort (power) to go faster :)

I'm about as light as I want to get : 80kg and 187cm tall.
Currently I'm on 1,400 miles for the year and 80,000ft climbing :)

I have a hybrid too which is pretty heavy which I use for chasing my 5 year old around the park. I did on a couple of rides on it recently and it was still pretty fast : https://www.strava.com/activities/895507682
