That looks good, the crankset, wheels and tyres especially look very oldschool.
I was thinking about a set of those cranks myself, are they Sugino Maxy Cross? Maybe I'd better stick to OPCs though :)

White frames go well with most colour combinations of forks & components.
The disadvantage is they are more difficult to keep looking new, white seems to scuff up and discolour more quickly. It doesn't hide scratches.
That said, I'll soon be painting my old bike white again for the third time.
