That is a complete mess of a build kit and totally overpriced. A complete Ultegra 11spd build kit is about $700 and has a lot of DNA from the old Dura Ace 7900 stuff for that money. When I see mis-matched derailleurs and levers, it immediately makes me think this person cheaped out.
Also on the frame, I agree that was a top shelf frame in 2007. However, Carbon fatigues and the technology has come a long way in 10 years. I believe strongly that a newer entry level carbon frame is a better way to go than a very old top level carbon frame.
Just my $0.02.
