Every consumer product branded bike I have seen has been a bottom of the line bike, with fancy graphics and paint. Typically they are given away as premiums or prizes at stores (company gives the store a bike to raffle off or whatever in return for buying product displays).

As far as parts, bikes get parts changed by owners all the time. So it may have had some nice upgrades by a former owner.
