Very nice!!! I love the colors and the paint scheme. Nothing wrong with a little patina, either.

For those bars and brakes I recommend picking up a set of the Dia Compe hoods (the Dia Compe levers are copies of the Weinmann under license), or Cane Creek hoods (Cane Creek = Dia Compe) if you don't want Dia Compe logos on there. Then some cloth tape and some shellac on that and you'll be sitting in gorgeous style!

FYI: I fitted those Dia Compe hoods around barrel adjusters like you have and you just have to trim the hood back at the top a bit with a sharp knife.
