Hmm, I can't say for sure, but I do know it's a good bike at a reasonable price point. I have a two-year-old Dew Drop, which is a Dew with drop bars, and it's been perfectly reliable. The frame is sturdy, it has 36-spoke wheels and proven mechanical bits. My Clydieness isn't as uber as yours, so YMMV.
Hope it works out for you.
