I like it!

I think the chunky stem matches nicely with the chunky cranks, give the bike a bit of muscle. Personally I would follow that theme through - keep the stem but change the seatpost to something with more beef.

Black bar tape is definitely a good idea.

Thanks for the tips! I will consider the stem, it is just a bit too long for me. About the seatpost - Vitus apparently was not a fan of standard seatpost diameters - Argals came with this extremely narrow 24.3mm seatpost so basically if you have one you are stuck with it. I like it nevertheless.
Will keep posting when buying new stuff :)

It's not the stem that is too long, it's the bars that have a long reach and also currently at a wrong angle (increasing said reach further). With bars from the link provided by Jono the reach will be way more manageable.

Ahead adapters are to be avoided.
