Now thats some old school material...It really brings back fond memories for me...
As a kid i liked my old cantilevered bike frame, but all my friends had 20" high rise bikes like the Raleigh chopper and Schwinn Orange crate, but since i was a big kid and we didn't have the money to go for a snazzy new bike i improvised a bike that looked very much like yours.
They didnt make those cool bent high rise ape bars at the time (late 60s) But we always used what we had... i used normal high risers and i to had a sissy bar and banana seat. It way WAY more comfortable on long rides.
I had a Old Sturmy archer 3 speed rear hub and good for the time heavy duty side pull brakes on a Schwinn canti frame, red and white with those huge fenders... it was the first bike i ever built for my self and i remember it fondly.
I think your bike will make a great build, please feel free to hit me up for advice or directions.
I see it with a round head 48cc China doll engine in silver and a long under slung POO POO style pipe... just a suggestion...
I'm really diggin the dual rear brake set up , i did the same thing!
Dont laugh you guys... it worked!
