I didn't go quite that far, but I converted a 12-speed road bike into a two-speed runabout. I still have conventional brakes front and back though.



I had something more like you're suggesting in mind, but a wheel with a two-speed kickback hub without coaster brake came my way and I was trying to keep it a budget build. Barely exceeded my hundred dollar target.
