If it were me, I'd get it. This of course assumes it fits. The frame is solid. Also when you said "outfitted w/ a kinesis 2 carbon frame", I assume you meant fork and not frame. Do you happen to know if it's the one with the carbon steerer or cro-mo steerer? You could get them in either as I recall. Not that it matters much but if it's got a full carbon steerer that's an even better deal. The Kinesis Carbon 2 Fork isn't a terribly great fork and certainly can't compare to say the industry favourite (Reynolds Ouzo Pro) but it gets the job done. The full carbon steerer option would make it lighter.
