You have to cut down the seat tube yourself

I seriously doubt it weighs around 36 lbs

Probably around 15-16, depending on how much those wheels weigh.
Also that seat post looks just about right for me.
I really like the completely removable dropouts, Van Dessel did the same on their Drag Strip Courage.

I am just worried about the fork not being drilled for a brake.
People drilled the old fuji pro's and pista concepts themselves, you think this one is drill-able too?

It's more than likely got an aluminum tube for the fork, so drill away.

Here is a photo I found of the top of the fork (2009, which is the same as the 2010). The old fuji had a flat area where the hole would be.

(sorry for the link to the flicker page, it was refusing to copy the image location!)
What's the professional consensus?

I have never seen a seat clamp of that design. I have seen quite a few bikes with the aero seat tube that extends upwards and acts as the seat post as well, but none designed well like this that allow for a fair amount of adjustment still. I see promise in that alone, although the whole bike looks quite nice, especially if it's in the 15 something pounds range.
