Yep, not apparently, but actually.

January 1997 frame made from T45 by Curtis. Came as either a complete or F&F kit.

They made them for a while - I think you could still order them in the early 2000's. Sent you a pm, but there was one on eBay last year and I've seen a fella riding one once in London about two years ago :)

Numbers made - you'll have to email Curtis and ask em - they were never that popular due to the price point, poeples mistrust (at the time) for T45 and integrated seat clamps. A lot of the ones I saw back in the late 90's had had the int. seat clamps sawn off so peeps could slam their seats right down.
