Lots of good things there, some tweaks for sure
What goes on the front rack? Looks like anything wider than it will interfere with the bar-end shifter cables.
Film canister tube caps are the kind of twee nonsense that we laughed at pre-2011, and is only allowed for >10 years of continuous shitposting service. The triple counts in your favor IMO, so I’ll leave judgment up to the rest of the hive mind.
Other than that, it’s a charming bike, and the color harmony with the beige is quite well done.
Looks good to me. Though shoving Ourys on over bar tape sounds like a nightmare.
Wait are those real film rolls? My sense of scale might be whack, but to me they look like smaller-sized replicas.
The fender release nubs make me uncomfortable.

Maybe these things? No idea on scale, I haven’t touched film in 30+ years.
When mounting a bell on the stem in this manner, its better to have the dinger facing up
I was going to make the same comment, but then I thought, maybe they use the drops a lot and it’s an easier reach from there?
new person: on a scale from “he is the messiah” to “he is the antichrist” what is your opinion of Grant Petersen? Note: “who is Grant Petersen” is exactly in the middle of this scale.

Mega range cogs are cool. I feel like your dangler cable curve is a tad to tight and those tiny jockey wheels are losing you massive amounts of watts just sitting there. Bar end shifters are nice. The saddle looks like Pubes drew it in Microsoft Paint. I think that yellow cage has to go. I cant see the pedals well enough to comment but I now have pedals with clips on one side only on at least 3 of my bikes incase of riding in civilian shoes. But overall that’s a pass from me. Welcome.

The lack of fenders kinda irks me, I mean you have the wee tabs for them but no fenders? Also, do you know what Chicken French is?
what kind of chain wax are you using and how awesome is it?
Chicken grease, obviously

Nu Ebenezer can’t hear our critiques because of their noise-cancelling tires.
That’s the one from Gilles Berthoud right?
i’d steal the frame and the stem
