I get what everyone's saying about the banana paint, but I think the new colour looks pretty snazzy. Liking the colour.
You should probably trim that brake cable down a bit though, there's masses of excess, and a shorter one's less likely to get caught or snagged on something.
Also, I'd take the outer chainring off if you can. Although I know on some of the cheaper old road cranks you can't really separate them, and it's only aesthetic anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
Nice job on doing it all yourself and doing a pretty good job on it by the looks of it, and the bike looks pretty good in my opinion.
