I was thinking about the curved metal guide down by the crank to run the cable from the downtube to the rear axle. Thinking that I might use a single downtube shifter and running a barenaked cable from the shifter to the SA hub.

Over here in Cambodia probably half of the bikes have no brakes. They use the foot method either on the front wheel or the rear.
