Is a (new, unbuilt) '05 Cinelli Aliante Frameset for $200 a Good Deal?

Pretty much what the title says... a friend of a friend who used to own a bike shop is offering me a "new old stock" 2005 Cinelli Aliante frameset for $200 bucks.

It has a Columbus Airplane front triangle, a Columbus Squadra full carbon rear (seat and chain stays), and a Columbus Carve full carbon fork. Everything is brand new and unused, just from 2005.

It doesn't appear to have the "curved" looking seat stays that the newer Aliantes seem to have when you look at the frame from the side, the seatstays look traditional and straight on this frame.

What do you guys think of the deal? Good frame or no?
