That looks pretty sharp for an older frame...mostly. Cranks aren't level, stems aren't accurately aligned in a vertical position, and you didn't quite get to biggie-smalls. Personally, I think a triple doesn't look right on a racy bike. I do like the color coordination of the seat post clamp to tie in with the non-original fork.
