My bit of advise on the gearing subject.........34 - 25 is my littlest gear and the 16% hill I live on can be done sat down, abielt with difficulty. Just to prove I'm stronger than my dad cos he was stood up. Also I can do over 30mph on the 50-12 gear :)
So unless you weigh 30 stone, are unfit, carry weight on the bike or for other reasons your gearing will be fine :)
