I suppose it all depends on what you want it for? It seems a rather muddled spec to me.
It's got a MTB cassette and a compact chainset, something you'd normally only find on off-road bikes or tourers. Yet the frame doesn't really look suitable for either.
Poor quality disc brakes with slick road tyres.?
The main advantage of discs (other than they don't wear your rims) is the fact that they work better in muddy / wet conditions. But as the tyres aren't really suited to being used in harsh conditions they're a little pointless. Espeshially as a good qulaity set of double pivot calipers should out-perform cheap mechanical discs.
An aluminium bladed fork?
Just incase you fancied taking it off-road this will make sure the ride is nice and harsh. Why make the fork bladed when the riding position is about as un-areodynamic as it gets. With those lovely heavy wheels it's never going to be a racing snake.
