Nope. First bike I bought after getting out of the Army in 1970 came from the Sears Roebuck catalog and was an Austrian Built 3 speed with an F & S (I think) Three Speed Hub. Had the same decal with the three stripes on the down tube. Don't remember if it was a
Free Sprit or
Ted Williams model.A very good, well built, all puropose city bike with all the normal commuter stuff - fenders, chainguard, etc. Picked it up at the catalog warehouse on the Roosevelt Blvd in Philadelphia.
