Your cog is slipping.
No foot retention, bars are up higher than the saddle, chain tension, blurry cat.

One bar-end brake lever on bullhorns always looks so wrong to me, although it's definitely the most practical place.
eta: "Blurry cat." made me laugh so hard my roommates looked at me funny.

White pedals seem out of place. If you're gonna have that much yellow on a bike, might as well do the full monty.

bad advice. yellow pedals would look make it look horrible. keep those or get black ones. Scrodzilla is on point with the rest.

Ridiculously tall bike that sticks out like a sore thumb where ever you park it.... It's only hope to look normal is with you riding it and whoever looking at a distance.
You could high five street signs on it can't you?

Fresh Garbage
I know, so much disappoint. Old brifters with new calipers give too much much mechanical advantage and make braking feel mooshy. I have to get some period correct brakes if I am to use the levers again
Maybe I should seek out some Campy Ergo levers
