Need help identifying my bike

I bought it covered in stickers from a friend who used it as a townie commuter so he never cared what it was.

It’s a rigid 29er, with a sticker saying “manufactured exclusively for sbs inc. Seattle, WA”

005a1ok00309 is stamped on one side of the BB shell, the other side has a stamp that is illegible.

Has skinny wheels with a flip flop single speed/fixed rear hub. Tektro rim brake on the rear.

Shimano 105 question

Hey all, I have a Cannondale with 2x11sp shimano 105. In the highest gear (48-11) if I am pedaling and then quickly backpedal the free hub, the chain loses all tension and seems like it could fall off.

Is this a normal thing? Should I just not backpedal here? When going downhill I just have that as a habit for some reason and am wondering if I just need to break the habit or if that points to the rear derailleur being out of adjustment.

TIA!
