I ended up taking a crank off an old mountain bike with 22/32/42 rings. I got the FD working with the 2 inner rings, I didn't replace the chain and it is working great. I have an insane granny gear of 22 on the crank and 34 on the cassette. I researched the hill grade from my house to the beach and it is 25%, very steep. I know most would say this gearing isn't necessary but its helping work towards my goal of climbing this hill without breaks.
