53 tooth chain ring

Using the SB calculator it looks like my 7th gear would become 6th and down the line. As I stated above I don't use any gear below 5th here in flat old Florida ... This might be the easy / best approach. Thanks for all info.
I replaced crank with an old Shimano 600 crank. I think the crank that came with the Downtube Nova does not have a replaceable chain ring.
