Man, are you putting black layers with 50% opacity on top of all those shots or something?!
On topic: nice bike! Cool to see what you can do on a tight budget. I don't know how good your back is, but a horizontal stem
mightmost definitely will transform the look of this bike:
This won't have to cost much, as they're readily available second hand for cheap (where I live at least).
I have the same bell by the way; works great!

i have finished building the bike.
got the wheelset from my other beater. got the chainset from my pelizzoli. 68x110mm bottom bracket is spot on this frame, if JIS chainset is used. 47T chainring and 18T freewheel, easy enough to drive.
brake cables with housing were £1.45 each
total cost is 214.4
i realy, really like this bike. bars&stem combo is super comfy, 35c tyres are very comfortable to ride on.
but there is one problem, rear wheel rim is too narrow for the 38c tyre. the tyre does not sit on the rim tight. what is the right rim width for the 35c MTB tyre?
