I used to have stock front with a larger rear chainring. That was nice for in town riding - let me stay in 2nd gear as long as I'm not standing still.
For open road, speed limit is 80 km/h so that was doable in 6th gear at small revs, in spite of the "shorter" gearing.
How big was your rear sprocket?
Any chain length issues?

I really can't recall right now. It was some 5 or something teeth larger. Took about 500 revs more to ride at the same speed.
Didn't notice any chain length issues, since the chain was sized to suit the chainrings - they were changed along with the chain by the prevoius owner. When I changed drivetrain chain and chainrings, I went to stock - and regretted it a bit.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
