I recently saw that Velomine has a decent set of wheels with a coaster brake. I'm not gonna do that yet, but it is certainly an option as I get older. I mean, that's all I had when I was a kid. Never even bothered with anything but air in my tires and probably put thousands and thousands of miles on my cheapo bike. Boy have times changed. People pay as much or more for a decent stem now as my whole bike cost back then. I know that it is apples and apples, but you get my point, I'm sure.
