If your crank can handle 35T or 36T, it should also be able to take 34T which would be a cheap change, although you may not really need it if you give yourself a chance.
A 14 pound bike? That is really light!!! Make sure you actually put it on a scale that you can see.
200+W is good. Just slow down if you need to.
