How about a child's plastic tricycle? It has plain (not roller) bearings. The wheels are one-piece plastic moldings with metal inserts, and the whole body is a one-piece plastic molding. The cranks are a single bent piece of bar stock, and there are no brakes.
Best of all, it's a fixed gear, since it can't freewheel
