Bikedued, what kind of shimano derailleurs and crankset were on this puppy when you scored it?
My 86 came with suntour cyclone and, while I have always lusted after a campy upgrade, I just cannot justify it because these things shift so smoothly and reliably. Mmmmm...campy.
Anyhow, Im pretty certain it originally did NOT have aero levers as it came with diacomps and I caught plenty of attention in 1988 when I switched to aero 105 SLR brakes (which did then, and still do now, ROCK!). My buddies really took a liking to my new bike in the summer of 86 and both bought the metallic pink versions in 1987 with shimano indexed drivetrain. The wheelset is not original and yes, those are Specialized Turbo/R's with the gumalls.
By the way, that bluish color on yours is simply beautiful. Nice score on that prelude.
In the off chance that you havent seen it posted, here it is (Daisy, the beagle, insisted on being in the pic):
