I don't think this seat-stay treatment was at all unusual in France, so I'm not convinced it indicates any particular marque, brand or vendor. I have a LeJeune that looks just like this. I've seen several other French bikes that share this treatment. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Jerry Moos has two dozen of them.
I still believe that this frame, my LeJeune and many other similar bikes were likely to have been produced by the same contract builder "somewhere in France". Au revoir, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
