You can tap into some Cyclo Cross parts say a 110 42~44 as a middle *, and a Chainguard disc instead of the Outer .

Modern FD's need a 10t difference between Middle and outers..
the toothless disc will help keep your trouser leg out of thje chain.

* may lack the Shift pins and ramps , but Surly Stainless steel ones are Long Wearing.

then you have the 26~28t for hills. 16t drop to 3rd ring seems to work good.
