As @umop3pisdn says, so long as you can adopt a good position given it's geo, you are unlikely to find anything much better at a reasonable price.
The mods he was suggesting include drilling the top tube just behind the steerer to create a new port for the gear cables (http://blog.aeroweenie.com/2013/10/aero-tuneup.html). It'll void the warranty (which is no longer relevant if the bike is 2nd hand) and it will get most of the cables completely out of the wind. I doubt either the mod or the Tri rig brakes would fall foul of the UCI although I don't know.
If the cable mod does scupper your UCI ambitions then a cable tie round the offending cables just behind the stem keeps the cables tucked in close to the frame, but it's not as neat.
