Nice bike. A big step up from that Huffy.
The cables are routed incorrectly. The tight bends will make shifting & braking less precise. The shift cables should come out from under the handlebar tape before the handlebar starts to bend up. Then the cable can make a nice smooth path to the downtube.
The brake cables should not be under the handlebar tape at all. The should go straight up and then smoothly to the front brake, and the rear to the top tube.

They were pretty much correct in the first picture with the black handlebar padding.
