Hello, all!

Just wondering if someone can shed some light on a frame I picked up w/o any decals. 5000 is pantographed into the tops of the seat stays, serial no. is P5351824. Red w/ simple pointed lugs and lugged fork crown outlined in gold-colored paint, dropouts are stamped, so I'm guessing this was a pretty basic frame. Seems like a far cry from a Sekai unless this was an economy model. A Panasonic perhaps? It had a mish-mash of parts, but a complete TA Cyclotourist triple crankset with TA bottom bracket--lucky me. Could this be a lesser known French make?

Thanks!
