Hi-Ten steel straight blade is described on some sales website. The obvious way is that the steer tube on the frame is tapered in appearance, so much wider at the bottom. I've looked and it appears to be a straight tube not tapered.
Next step remove fork from bike and this will confirm. See YouTube for help/guidance in removing fork
