Yes, that is Patria Lanfranchi-Vandermark's bike. She rides the heck out of that thing and changes wheels/tire all the time.
I saw the bike when new circa 2017/2018 while I was living in the Boston area. It was a "proof of concept" and launch of the new model name. All the mid-reach brake option bikes were previously built under other model lines (i.e. Axiom, Axiom SL).
I was irritated at the time because I ordered my Axiom SL Mid-Reach bike from RSC/RHQ and 2 weeks later they announce RedSky and Patria shows the bike. The only differences as far as I remember are the name and the rear fender mounts are in different places: My Axiom SL Mid-Reach has them on the rear drops and the RedSky has them hidden on the inside of the lower seat tubes.

As for the fork, I bought an extra and keep it in a box. They tried to talk me out of it by stating they can always replace the headtube and use the new tapered forks but I ride a 53cm and wanted the older style straight fork because it is not as harsh on smaller frames.
