This is my idea, anyway.
...however, in this modern world of "2,000 speed Mondo X-treem urban guerilla warfare gang slappin' jam slammin' hypto bikes"....
...would anyone really be interested in buying a two-speed?
I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

You can easily run a double chainring up front and a dual freecog in the rear with chain tensioner. While Industries sells a double freecog setup. You change gears manually, by hand.....that's the cool part...
