I believe it is.

The frame is a little rough...the pearl paint really doesn't do age well. Finding a close touchup has proved to be EXTREMELY difficult. I'm still not totally happy with what I used on the fork, fortunately the chips there were small so the spots are more well hidden. I'm going to try one more auto touchup paint....then I'll use the closest I have.

If I like the ride of this bike and I can get JR at VeloCals to do me a decals set I'll seriously consider a repaint of the frame. I sorely wish it was in the same shape as the Fuji America I posted.
