Last year I saw a red Centurion Turbo with Sugino Superbe groupset, hanging in a local bike shop for $175. I had a Raleigh build in process, so I mentioned it to a bike club buddy, who was looking for an Eroica bike. The Turbo had aero brake levers and cables which at the time were verboten by the Eroica police. He ran down and grabbed it. After a little research, I found out what a nice bike the Turbo actually was. Now the aero brake levers are allowed in Eroica. I keep dropping hints, "If you ever want to get rid of that bike . . ."
