You could just build up a rear wheel with an internally geared hub. SRAM makes some decent ones they range from 3spd-9spd. They are virtually maintenance free and plus it cleans up the lines of your bike!
I agree, KMC makes good chains. I ran one through the winter and its held together nicely. It's stretched a lot, but overall I would recommend one. I only paid 13ish for mine.
Since skids are about the only thing that the hipsters can do, they can stop fine... as long as they have clipless or toeclips. If you don't have either of those, then you shouldn't ride without a brake, no matter how skilled you are.
Platforms only allow you to resist the pedals for about 40%...
Soma Fabrications (somafab.com) makes some nice tires... Low rolling resistance and better than armadillo protection. You can also get the sidewalls in snazzy colors. If you do a little hunting around, you can get them cheaper than listed on the soma website.
