1x builds with classic derailleurs?

Hi y'all,

I was wondering, with all the hype of 1x builds on modern road bikes, if anyone has done a 1x build with an older friction shifter and rear derailleur. I was commuting the other day and realized that I never change to a lower gear on my cranks and thought about doing a simple conversion of my own. I'd like to see other builds if there are any on this forum!

best,
Joben

(for those wondering, I'm running nuovo record for the front and rear derailleurs on an early 80's Bianchi nuova alloro)
