Thanks mate! I've kept it as it is for now but I think I'll get drop bars in the medium term.
In other news, i finally succeeded in my long struggle to fit track cranks with a correct chainline without changing the french BB threading. The bike originally came with a 118mm stronglight BB which gave me a fine chainline with the beater 105 cranks and the ring mounted on the inner position. Although the BB shell width is 68mm, I wasn't able to use a 111mm spindle from a british threaded campa BB since the stronglight cups are thinner than campa cups and therefore require the spindle of an italian threaded BB made for 70mm shell width. I'm really glad it finally worked out so now I have DA 7600 cranks with my desired chainline of 43mm (cog is closer to 42 but 43 is better for clearance reasons).

I quite like the Vanhaelen with its current cockpit. But if you was to change I would properly still stick with black bar tape.
