I think my SimpleOne came with a 107 tange bottom bracket. I am using an old suntour track crank and changed the bb to a 108 phil so I could easily get the chain line just right. That's not an issue with normal 8/9 speed chains, but I am using 1/8th inch chain cog and ring and I had some crunching before I changed to the phil bb.
When I first got a fixed/ss bike many years ago I was living in SE Michigan which I think is similar to NE Ohio with respect to flat. Meaning a freeway overpass counts as a climb. I think you will probably be fine with just one ring, and probably would be happy with a single cog for that matter. Congrats on a great acquisition, I predict you are going to have a lot of fun with it.
