Looks very clean.
I know it sounds a bit boring, but I really wouldn't rely on a coaster hub as your only form of braking. Maybe if you were just using it to cruise up and down a beach front.
Brake cables also help a bit to hold the handle bars so the basket doesn't swing (or swing as hard) into the top tube.

picked this up at the weekend.
norco city glide with a 2 speed sram automatix rear coaster hub. 700c wheels and plenty of clearance for wide tyres and guards.
so far i've removed the levers and calipers, stuck a wald 137 on the front, and just bombed around on it at every opportunity!
going to change the seat and grips but i've not decided what to go with yet...
also change the front chainring bashguard thing as it looks a bit shit.
dead pleased with the way it rides! big grins!
