"The Waterford guys say that the split BB is a Schwinn patent. "

Maybe, but I've got a 70's (bike boom era) very cheap Belgian bike with an identical looking BB.

 

Fork and what I can see of the frame looks like an early Paramount. Hubs are not what I'm familiar
with as Paramount. Stem looks right, crank looks wrong. I have a 50s one.

THe wheels handlebar and seat/seat post, were all added by me. The crank was on there, however I
have been told that the Chater-Lea crank arms should have a Chater-Lea chain ring. The chain ring on
the bike is a Raileigh (sp). I am looking for a proper chain ring and pedals. The hubs are english
which match the head set and cranks.

I have a block cog and new "in the metal box" chain. I just need the chainring.

The bike seems to be constructed by Emile Wastyn, who made the original Paramounts.

Thats all I know.
