Please do not take this as being rude- I mean it entirely in a constructive manner...
The cables seem too long, uneven and kind of wildly loopy.
I'm no expert in cable routing, however I prefer them to be as symmetrical and unobtrusive as possible.
I honestly am not trying to be disrespectful or anything.
I think the color scheme on those bikes mixed with the chrome on the fork is really a nice look.

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
Man, that granny gear looks tiny; is that a 24? 26? That looks to be a the absolute limit of derailleur capacity. How does it shift?

Bikes: Too many to list, all titanium or steel.
Beautiful job! I've got a Fuji TSV and that looks exacly like mine was when I purchased it, even down to the same (I think original) bar tape. Here's a photo before my restoration.
It was taken before I knew that bikes should always be photographed from the drive side.
