Not even close. There was a bike at the first shop I worked in that had a sram 3sp internal hub with 9sp cassette freehub body, had some sort of 2sp internal bb and a triple crank. High gear was so high that at 240lb I could stand on one crank arm and the arm would barely move, one rotation of the crank equated to 7 turns of the wheel while on the easy side 7 spins of the crank didn't quite turn the wheel one full revolution. The bike wasn't really anything useful but it was fun to mess around with.
