8-speed tricolor 600, not as vintage as some of the beauties on here, but it's almost old enough to drink.
42t business up front, 13-26 party in the back.

How do I line up the chainline for a 1x9 so that I don't have to worry about the chain falling off the big ring up front?

I know that makes sense and maybe I'm over thinking it but when I was setting up my bike originally before I installed the FD the chain would fall off when in the biggest cog in the back..

I'm building up a Trek 370 frame and looking to do a 1x8 setup. What's components are you using? Awesome bike by the way.

Removing chainrings is my favorite thing to do, either for resale or for building to my own taste. Except I just put together an all-terrain touring rig with a triple... 
the exception that proves the rule. I've got pics of others all over this site, but here's the latest 1x: A Fuji Opus IV 1x10 for the local crit-style club rides.

That’s how I always do bikes. I never used to use the front derailleur anyway, and getting all the junk out of there makes it a lot easier to keep the drive train clean, especially in the winter.

Is that original paint/decals? If not, where did you source the decals?

I always thought the whole idea of a 1x drivetrain is so you could run a traditional chainguard and ride in long pants w/o a clip or other inconveniences. Surprised to see so many single chain rings here running naked and exposed.

I like it because of of how much easier it is to keep crud from building up around the chainring and bb shell. In Minnesota winters especially, I think it makes a big difference to be able to easily wipe off the chainring and surroundings for keeping the drivetrain running smoothly.

One thing I really like about my 2009 Handsome Devil steel frameset it its versatility, its been a compact double, a triple and for the last 7 years a 1x9 set low with 11x36 cassette and a 36t chain ring for the hills of West Seattle.

When converting to a 1xn setup, did anyone have to change out the bb? I'm doing a Trek 370, originally 7speed cassette and going with an 8 speed (more common) and the originally was a double front crank with 113mm. Looking at a Claris rear setup with index shifters.
