As many have said it's a Verlicchi design.
The shop I worked at bitd used to sell quite a few of these. They came with different colour swingarms and cable stops iIrc.
I've seen red, blue, purple, green, black and silver ones over the years (all with a polished front triangle). Other manufacturers that licensed the design may well have had custom colours though.
The ride on them was pretty dire and, because of the high pivot point, there was a lot of pedal induced feedback. Also at low speeds the suspension used to kick back through the pedals (in the same way that the Cannondale EST design did).
