I believe these are the best city bikes ever made. 

These were spare no expense moonshot bikes before Electra was bought by Trek. Insane custom parts like a threaded stem cap a la Alex Singer. 50.4 BCD randonneur style crank. Tektro cantilever brakes. Honjo style hammered fenders. CLB style reverse brake levers - but these work. 

All these nods to French constructor bikes, but rides like a foot forward Dutch city bike. But a third of the weight. 

This is an 8 speed and they were over $1000. The 105 10 Speed version was $2000! Those are prices from 10 years ago. Would be 3k now. 

You could spend more and build something more capable, better load carrying, more versatile but for just riding around town, I don't think there has been a better city bike.
