Three of my four bikes have single chainrings up front. (Two of them are internal gears.) In fact, the only one that doesn't is the Atlantis. No problems with mine. Works out well for all the riding I'm doing at present. One has a 38t up front and 11-32 in back. The gearing works for everything I've asked the bike to do so far. Not sure I'd be able to handle a fully loaded tour with that setup. But that is an issue of the engine, not the bike.
Did have to work a bit to get the chainline where I wanted. But otherwise no trouble with shifting or anything else.
