I never heard of it but that means little. You bought it new from a bike shop? It looks pretty lowend to me, maybe it was a line sold by one of the shops suppliers that didn't have a major line. Jamis kind of started that way. Univega also used to have a cheaper side line called Sterling and trek had one too called Jazz.
