Indeed! A cool bike and if its set-up just the way you want - that's all that matters.
City bike for me would have fenders and a chainguard and MUST have a rack or basket.
A city bike goes to the market, you may commute on it - its gotta have a way to haul stuff.
Gearing would be internal hub or single speed and NOT downtube shifters.
