Anyone recommend the Kinesis 4s Disc?

Any Kinesis 4s Disc owners out there happy to comment on their builds? I'm thinking of building up a winter / bad weather bike and this frame seems ideal. I'm particularly interested in how light in weight a potential build could be, whilst considering it'll likely see some awful conditions. I don't fully subscribe to the idea that your winter bike should be heavy or use old and worn equipment, but respect that kit will need to be a bit more durable than on the summer "best bike". Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Geometry doesn't look ideal for a winter bike IMO.

    Kind of a fail if that were true as it's an all year round frame!

    I have a tk3, OP, so rim brakes not disc but I doubt if the geo is a major departure. Very happy with mine. I wouldn't call it 'light', more 'solid'. Rides very well.
