i would say for your first bike, OTP is a great idea.. that way you are up and riding straight away..
building up a frame with parts is a pretty slow process unless you have the cash to splash all at the same time
i bought a second hand plug off here which I've loved starting out on and it's given me the time to find the frame i wanted and collect the parts..
then you can always sell the OTP to someone who is in a similar situation starting out or keep it as a pub bike
