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.
