I like them. The only other bullhorns that I have ridden are old Mavic ones which are nearly the same shape.

Man ZappCatT... that thing is super cool. A question though... why does Fuji include a brake hole on the bridge if they are track specific bikes? I mean I know why it is there (brake use of course), but it just makes me wonder. Have you ever been on the street with it?

I have no idea why they did that. I believe quite a few other track specific frames have them also..
I don't mind what anyone behind me on the track thinks of my bike!!
I actually have ridden it a little around the block. After the first ride, I actually mounted a rear brake for a little extra 'protection"
I have a beater fixie(that I will post later) that I was trying to use for training, but got sick of the lowBB, trouble setting it up similar enough to my track bike, and trying to get the chain correct, I have decided to get a cheapie alu frame and build a "duplicate" bike with brakes for on road training(gotta learn how to spin)

ZappCatt, really nice Fuji. I saw one of the 2006 Pros in a shop today and had that "if the money was in my wallet right now I'd be walking out w/ this thing" urge to get one. Good quality frame, and you've done a great job w/ your build.
Edit: the 2006 Fuji Track Pro I saw today wasn't drilled.

A friend just sent this to me. It's from a trip to D.C. last summer and I love this shot.
Me skidding at the Washington Monument before security chased us away.
