Last city bike I built up ended up with totally minimalist setup and removed rear brake, front gears, and cut down the flat bars I had. Not to everyones taste, but it worked just fine for me and was a very fast bike for a mountain bike framed, 26"er. Just had to be aware to keep your weight back when braking heavily, which was never an issue with me.
