I don't see anything wrong with this. It all depends, of course, on the prospective buyer's needs.
A few observations: I'd put on a Kinesis aluminum (curved) fork to drop a couple pounds. This weight reduction would make the bike faster and more nimble, and the 11-44T gearing gives 106 gear inches, so speed shouldn't be a problem. If you want to upgrade the components, you could do that at your leisure. State offers a five-year warranty, but I'd still keep an eye on those welds for the first 1,000 miles. This will probably be a successful foray for State.
