My old Schwinn Super Le Tour conversion with RB-021's:

I know it's not a good shot of the stem/handlebars, but it's all I have, because the bike has been restored back to the original, geared setup.

oh my goodness

Funny that you ask... http://velospace.org/files/sannino_01.jpg
I always thought this bike just had a mean look to it. But bullhorns are ugly - they're all out function in my book and that's what makes them beautiful. Pulling into the ends of bullhorns while going up a hill is the fixed gear ecquivalent to shifting down on your road bike.

Edit: also, the bike MIN posted because the thing just looks like you could take it 0-30mph in about 10 seconds.

is that a hometrainer tire in the back? fantastic..

I chose my Nitto 018s because when trying to ride a lil more aero the curve reminded me of riding on the brake hoods in drop bars...they're real comfy but kind of wide for the city.

Damn MIN... that's a hot bike. Maybe the "next big thing" is gonna be time trial bikes. :)

already happening... disc wheels, zipps, hed3's, old school pursuit frames...

its a custom track/road hybrid, ask vistor design

Bullhorns let you have some of the same hand positions as road drops with STI levers, but without road drops and STI levers.

how could this bike inspire anything.
there is that rise stem with drop horns!
its ridiculous. and ugly.

but what bikes that have bull horns do you love?
andre,min, and deathhare get it all great examples.

that campy radial laced front is a beauty.

G, you gots to tell me ahead of time when you're gonna be leaving them wheels unlocked;)

This is still one of my favorite bikes of all time.

I drew my inspiration from conversions, since that's all I had to work with

http://velospace.org/files/dock3.jpg

I find it more comfortable to stretch out on the bullhorns then to sink into drops. there's something about extending the reach instead of angling downwards. also, i find 'em nice for hill climbing. but when i first made the switch, the first thing i noticed was how much easier it was to shift your weight onto the front wheel for an effortless skid.

edit:"but if i wanted a pure track bike, i wouldn't run the bullhorns. The body position would probably make my commute more need-for-speed fierce.

there is that rise stem with drop horns!
its ridiculous. and ugly.

Neither ridiculous nor ugly, and quite functional.

It gives a more upright and comfortable ride when holding the horns close to the stem, but lets you get down and stretched a little more when your hands move further out to the sides, and even more so when you reach out the horns.

I rode mine like that for a long time, it was great.

if i could find some dummy hoods that looked halfway decent, then i would rock those on drops. until then give em the horns johnny!

i went with bullhorns because i never rode my drops, and i like having my palms on the "elbows"

as far as inspiration, being from texas, i thought to myself long ago about strapping some steer horns on the front of a bike, and calfee has made me REALLY want to make that happen someday.

I guess as long as your seats higher than your bars is ok,

but when you bars are higher than seat it looks so WACK!
