If I were to use a coaster brake, I'd also have a front brake of some sort,

Funny: my first bike build, December 1970; halfway through 10th grade
(mid-summer Christmas vacation at 1*16' 59" South latitude) had first no
brake at all and then a coaster b
My dislike with a coaster brake is that the rear tire wears out a lot more
quickly than I expected.
You do have to disconnect the torque arm to remove the rear wheel, but

I'm still in the 3x1 camp. I want to see who can be the first Rivendell

Maybe a 2 speed kick back hub with coaster brake would make sense? No

Keep in mind the Roadunos are 120mm spacing. Any there any 5 or 7-speed
