That rather depends on what you want from it and how much you pay for
it. -

Looks OK. Butted frame, carbon forks, all transmission components from the
same range (and all except the rear mech from the same groupset). Oh - the
crankset and BB are no-name... check that the crankset doesn't warp under
load (symptom: a 'krrrr... krrrr... krrrr...' sound of the chain against
the front mech when climbing or sprinting out of the saddle)Note that, according to the specs, the seatpost is not carbon but 'carbon
wrap', which essentially means it's an aluminium post with a decorative
skin of carbon. However, this makes it significantly less likely to fail
than a carbon post.Reasonable for the price. If you like it and it fits...
