British, if the front number plate is an acceptable clue. I can't read the glyphs on the fuel tank. Don't remember who made the girder but plenty of bikes used them. Pudgy front tire for a '20s machine. ??? --rats
No, the Multi is a much older thing; it's a single-speed bike with an adjustable drive pulley that alters the gear ratio. Zenith had a similar thing called a Gradua.
