It’s a preference thing. For me if there’s any play in the chain it’s unrideable.

chain tension looks good, fake wheels don’t

Looks good to me.
On the velodrome, a slack chain is preferred for less resistance.
On the street, less slack/more taught is preferred so the chain doesn’t come off in certain situations.
But for street, your chain looks good!

It’s fine but flip that bike over & tighten. You’ve got plenty of room.
You want 1/2″-1″ of vertical movement if you try to wiggle the middle of the chain
Love that frame
Not terrible, but I’d tighten it a touch if it was my bike.
Such a great frame. Regretted ever getting rid of mine.
Some cheap chain tensioners will definitely help you if you’re wanting perfect tension. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EGVrETe
Not slack enough
