The pic shows how ugly this is.
I was running a similar setup. A Shimano TY22 FD?, 22-32-36 chain rings with a 19T single speed freewheel on my commuter.
Shifted perfectly. FD sits a bit high, but it would crunch quite nicely into gear even under load. I miss that setup actually, I now run 24/38T crank with 14-28T 6 speed freewheel and rarely use the FD any more.
