Was the Chang Star 877AT a cantilever brake?

1995 KHS Alite 1000 - BikePedia
1995 KHS Alite 1000 - Rock Shox Quadra 5 - BikePedia

I bought it in 2007 from the guy who originally custom-built the bike from the frame-up with Chris King, Shimano LX/XT, RaceFace and Real chainring components. It had the Shimano parallel-push brakes on it originally when I bought it. ^^^ That's actually the first time I've ever seen another of this same frame, same color. I was never able to find the exact info on BikePedia about it before. I guess it's been updated since last I looked.

However, literally nothing on those BikePedia pages matches what this bike was originally built with. Seat post and stem look the same but that's about it. Even the RockShox fork is different.
