I'm not convinced about coaster brakes. Fine for pootling around, I guess, but anything more than that, I'd prefer to be brakless. I'm with you, tallsam. I'd never have a coaster brake as my only form of slowing down.
Edit: It does look lovely though. Well done!
let put it this way.
the dutchs have town bike with coaster-only brake for decades, it's still there and still function, they're plenty reliable enough to even use it as your only form of slowing down.
also the velosteer one is the best one in the market, very reliable and not expensive at all, only £20 including cog.
