that looks very nice and agree the forks look great- decals, black seatpost and black or indeed white saddle would IMHO make it look proper bo 
well done on a nice build.

Looks like all the cables are waaaay too long. It's tempting to er on the long side, I know, but those look silly and will cause lotsa drag. Also, saddle = wrong. Other than that it's nice.

Cable drag as in friction of inners against outers. Shorten the cables and things will both look neater and work better. The excess length makes the arcs of the cables less smooth (see r/mech) and simply adding all that unnecessary extra area of inner rubbing on outer makes matters worse too, obviously. That's all.

I'm certainly no great authority on bike set-up or anything, just pretty anal when it come to finishing touches. Neat, short-as-possible-while-still-giving-smooth-curves cables are also less likely to catch branches.
Happy riding.
