Thanks! I so SORELY wish I could have matched the paint better...ahem.
Brakes aren't new...just cleaned and polished and they actually look better now, I worked on them a bit more. Funny, the quick releases were really crappy and hard to move...until polishing and a bit of teflon lube. Smooth as silk now

I know what you mean about the brake cable. I tested it each side and went the side that resulted in the least aggressive rub on the head tube.
