i bought an OTP a few months back... and its kinda like being 18 again, with ur first car.. always tinkering with shit.. and buying shit you dont REALLY need, but looks the business. Alloys, fluffy dice and the likes.
I wish i would have gone straight to building my own bike.. ... much more satisfying... and as everyone sez - u get what you want.
I'm about to start building an 80's raleigh this week... def more excited than when i bought the Fuji Track. (dont get me wrong, great bike - more so that plug IMHO)
also you'll know everything about ur bike. I was in Cycle surgery when i got a flat tyre the other week, and some hipster comes in with a bling bling pista... and essentially didnt know how to change a tyre as he had a flat too. he looked like such a nonce - total wannabe. dont be that guy. :P
hope that helped.
