I'm sure the OP is enjoying all the "derailer snark", but I've seen a QB with a rear derailer in a Reader. As I recall (it's around here somewhere) it kept the standard flip-flop hub, then added a cheap Shimano derailer with the "claw" attached so it would fit the tabless frame, and had a wide range double up front. The derailer's ability to take up slack made it possible to have a big gap up front without having to readjust the rear wheel after front shifts, or deal with a drooping chain. No front derailer, no shifters...still basically a two-speed riding experience, but with one flat gear and one super-low. With this arrangement you could run a 40-24.
