Someone posted a link to a bike that had a setup like that,only it had a Nexus hub on the rear. Can't remember what model,you'd have to search through the Commuter forum. Shimano makes a tesioner so you run multiple rings up front with an SS rear.
Seems to me you'd do better running a single front ring with a cassette on the rear. Just front rings are going to give you some pretty big jumps in gears.
