the handlebars unbalance the bike - it's too front heavy. Beyond that it looks fine IMO. track (deep) drops plus a crosstop would solve this, but the deda non-anatomic bars with a setup similar to the one you already have plus a shorter stem might be a better solution in terms of sticking with what you know.
However if the riding position on the hoods is perfect for you, the bullhorns plus a TT lever might be better. Keep the same (or similar) position as riding on the hoods, but remove the excess visual weight of the road brake levers.
The Bar tape colour contrasts nicely with the finish of the bike, but you'd need at the very least to get a matching saddle to make it work properly. And bartape is cheaper than saddles, so I'd go with black bartape/ends too.
And a rear disk wheel, rattlecanned in a suitably bright and garish colour. :)
