Here is are some shots of my De Bernardi with bullhorns. It is probably my most fun bike to ride, particularly shorter routes in town. With bullhorns you basically have two positions, the tops and near the hooks -- which is like riding on the hoods with a typical road bike. I rarely take this bike on longer rides because if you are out on the open road and the wind kicks up, you have nowhere to hide. My longest ride since I installed the bullhorns is probably about 40 miles.

The other shot shows my Waterford, which has FSA shallow drop bars that are very similar in shape and drop to the Soma Hwy 1 bars.
