Oh man.
My newest bike has a 50-34 crankset. When I take it back to the shop tomorrow, I'll demand they replace it with a triple, because the Internet sez 50-34 is bad for me.
Seriously though, I think I could live with a 1x11 drivetrain. I test rode a Kona Private Jake that had a 1x11. Fun ride but the geometry was a tad too aggressive for my taste, and with the combo of 40T front and max 32T rear, climbing a hill on it was more challenging than the other bikes I test rode that day. Acceleration was a blast though. Would have loved to try the Kona Rove ST, which is also 1x11 but with a 38T chainring (same as my Breezer) and an 11-36T cassette - that combo looks a lot more climb-friendly. The lion's share of my cycling has been on the Breezer, so I wouldn't miss the top speed of a 40T or greater chainring anyway.
