Despite seeing the post by @TurtleRecall, during my speccing up process, I bought a 4S disc frameset. My decision was influenced by the fact that upgrade/Kinesis dealt with the issue so well, that they are fairly close to where I live, and I kind of know some of the staff (due to having a mutual love of Stan's Bike Shack)
The build has been very successful, I'm very pleased with how it looks/rides and look forward to many happy rides on it.
Have only managed just short of 600 miles on it so far, due to not being a commuter, and spending a fair bit of time on my MTB, but the (very nearly) 100 miles that I did on Sunday were an absolute pleasure.
My experience of Kinesis when my frame cracked was that they were doing their best to help, whilst Probikekit were useless. The main thing to bear in mind is not to buy a Kinesis (or anything else) from PBK.
