I don't see why you couldn't use a hyperglide freewheel. I am using a uniglide on my Raleigh and love it. I think you would be pressed to find a better freewheel, the new IRD freewheels are supposed to be very similar if you don't mind the nickel plating. I have heard decent things about the sunrace freewheels too.
Nice bike.
