Either way it'll be a "shut up and take my money!" situation. Happy New Years and cheers!
The Kilo (with it's lack of clearance for fenders or bigger tires) isn't going to make a very good bad weather bike. I say find an old road bike, use whatever existing parts you can and and throw some used/cheap parts at it to finish it off. My scrap-heap Raleigh is a blessing.
