Not my bike but yes it was purchased new, looks like next frame size up have been a better choice. I'm not sure whether or not the salesperson knew anything about the subject, wouldn't be unusual if not given the expertise of some shop employees. And yes I'm asking because I don't know much about cf forks but I'm not representing a shop or selling bikes.
