No. A truing stand is just much nicer/easier. Some ppl use cable ties on their forks/rear stays - I used blue tac and a small ruler.
Its easier if its a stripped frame - ie no chainring/cranks.
You should also remember that a wheel needs to be trued up and down (for roundness) as well as left to right - does that make any sence? So you'll prob want 8 cableties.
Re Bullhorns - general concensus is making your own isn't great bc of the way they curve. Also remember that you might need a short stem bc you reach out further. Profile air wings are a popular choice. Esp as allot of bullhorns seem to be TT aero style ones.
