I'm running 1x8 on mine... well, sort of. 46-30 double with no front derailleur and an 12-28 cassette. Works fine, no complaints here in flat Louisiana and in not-so-flat St. Francisville. I would say that Roadinis make uniquely good candidates for 1x because their long chainstays decrease your chain angle at either end of the cassette. If I were using a wider range cassette with a low end up in the 40s I would likely need two chains on my 61 with 46cm chainstays, though.
