Of note: Eroica California now allows bikes with aero brake levers so long as they don't have built in shifters: http://www.eroicacalifornia.com/registration
Bar-end shifters are ok too, so long as they don't index. Personally, my impression of the event depends on how I consider it: When I think of Eroica as a ride but with lots of arbitrary rules it rankles a bit. When I think of Eroica as a parade that happens to be unusually athletic then I like it a lot. I prefer to think of it the second way. Considering attending this year!
