It looks great. But can I make a suggestion?
Your bike's headset is not sealed and in in a Raleigh-specific thread. You need to have a mudguard on the front wheel, or grease it very regularly, or never, ever ride in rain.
You can't buy them anymore unless you get absolutely shocking quality ones from India.
Otherwise, I quite like it.

don't know if sheldonalec is on here or not...lol
have his wider SA 36 spoke alloy wheels on the bike now...but being a true 16 and half inches across as opposed to 18 and a half i have to source a second long reach brake caliper..got one for the front..classic chromed one
sourced a 7R BB axle to run cotterless cranks but like the steel cottered ones so gonna stick with them..also my BB shell width being 78mm instead of normal 71-76 meant i wouldnt be able to get lock ring on after doin up cup sufficiently ( with caged bearings instead of loose )

Built up an old Dawes Kingpin like that once but due to being 6'6" tall the bike just was too small even with extra long stems and seatpost. Mine was a 10 speed though as i spread the dropouts to squeeze a 5 speed block in
