I want to be able to bike comfortably and go moderately fast on the cycling roads and all that stuff.
What kind of terrain is your town? I live in a hilly area, so with my Hard Rock, I left the gears alone. I need them all. I put on street slicks, fenders, a rack and shopping panniers. Reflectors and lights, toe clips, a kickstand, a trailer hitch, and another water bottle. And a lock. The only area where the bike suffers is that downhill, I run out of gears and must coast above 30mph. Small loss.
