My geared road-bikes are only for the city in that I live in the middle of the metropolis, and sometimes have to get some training done within the North circular.
53/39 x 12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23 (or the 9spd, which is the same, minus the 18t)
Going up a steep but constant gradient, I feel faster on my fixed, but otherwise always faster with gears.
