yes it is.. i think maybe an 07 or 08 model..?? i bought it brand new in the box though in july '09.. Spectrum cycles here in dallas (a subsidary of bikes direct) has a warehouse, and this one was set aside because of a chip in the paint from shipping... i paid a little less than the advertised $350 for it

I would like to possibly put a carbon fork on it and go threadless sometime down the line
