I was looking through the BMX museum forums and came across a post listing a mid to late 60's Men's three speed bike that looked to be very original. I was aware that Sears sold quite a few bikes that were made in Austria, but I have never seen a French built one. Any Ideas who actually made the bike?

Looks British to me. I'm no expert, but the rear fender has the white safety stripe, and the rear reflector is exactly like those on Raleighs.
