I started with the same gearing as this on my Straggler. For winter hacking about in the lanes and commuting it was too gappy and spinny, so changed the 34t small ring for a 36t (keeping the 50t) and changed the cassette for a 12-30 10 speed Ultegra. This made just enough of a difference, making for a nicer unloaded riding experience, and is easy to swap back if and when I add load to the bike.
