Andrew, that's a great looking bike. The blackwall Bon Jons look just fine to me. Agree on your assessment of the Dia Compe 980s.
Patrick Moore asked about the 980s: setup is no easier or more difficult than other cantis I've used (Paul, Shimano); silver finish! No squeal with Kool Stop pads. The only negative I've experienced is that the fine adjustment isn't as effective as I would prefer. I still like 'em though!
