Welcome to my world. I don't trust 1x11 without a FD - dropped chain in training once, National champs and an early season 10. I have an Ultegra FD on it now and it's been sweet.
I have two old Campag deraillers you're welcome to bodge up if you want. They're from @Scilly.Suffolk but I ended up using an Ultegra FD from Scherrit.

It's only the 2nd time I've dropped a chain since moving to a 1x setup, but having it happen in a race is annoying especially when my legs were obviously feeling good.
I might need to invest in a chain catcher of some kind. Wasn't there some guy on TTF who was trying to design and 3d print a low profile chain catcher that would be more aero than using an old FD? I'm going to have a derailleur on there then it may as well be cabled up!
