I'm 99% sure that's just an old Spin with some new paint and a sticker.

this trispoke is not made by spin, its actually made by the brand, Trispoke, which I heard was later absorbed by specialized. Its made from some similar compound like the early specialized trispokes.

the spin wheel has a much shallower dish, <42mm and is not aero, not fast and pretty heavy, to boot. its been discussed on triathalon forums and a bit in bf road forum.
