That bike is fine. I have a build that is very similar to yours. I have a "Motobecane Record" frame that I built out with basic SuperTeam wheels. You have a much better derailleurs on yours. It appears that you actually have a carbon stem. That frame is actually of very good quality. Kinesis makes it in Taiwan. The welding, although not refined, is very well done. It's has stiff 7005 tubes and I find mine not to be overly "buzzy". In fact, it's quite nice to ride. Mine is in a more "racey" configuration with aero extensions and a zero set back stem. I use it as a back-up TT racer and trainer. Fast, acceptable weight. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. All you need to be concerned about is if the frame size is right, are the crank arms the right length for you, and are you running quality tires. Otherwise, I think it was a very good buy for a general riding bike.
