I'm all for experiments, but I see no benefit putting gears on this bike.

There are already tons of MTBs out there with gears. There are a lot less that were build for SS.
+100 Jake nailed it. Geared MTBs are a dime a dozen. Sell this unique one for real $$, pocket part of it, and use the rest to buy a nice geared bike of your choice.
