Pardes, i'm with the go to your most trusted bike shop and ask them crowd, and yeah, if you could trade it back in, since it's still new, that would be great too.

Your Bontrager Select crankset also comes as a 34/50. The 34 small ring in front - combined with some bigger rings in the back - should lower your low-end gearing quite a bit. If the bike is new, ask your LBS if you can swap the crankset out for a 34/50.
