BALBO, there's lots of help on here to aim you in the right direction. I am a fan of OTPs, as anyone can tell you, but the best bike you will get will be after analyzing your needs, and weighing that against a budget.
KiwiCycles is a small outfit, and you can build a rapport with them for many of your biking needs. That said, I bought my 2 OTPs from the 2 biggest high street cycle retailers. I know I won't matter as an individual to them, but its my call.
Even though my bikes are fat-tubed aluminium, I'd recommend steel to anyone less than 15 stone. I haven't heard of many KiwiCycle bike owners, so you may be part of a niche owner's group, if that's what you wish.
