The frame certainly has some hallmarks of a Wastyn bike. Couple things though, I have never seen that style of bottom bracket on a Wastyn bike; and it doesn't have a lugged fork crown (from what I can see in the photo). The fork looks very similar to what you would find on an early Schwinn Superior track bike. Maybe a fork replacement some time in its life?

Doesn't matter, a very cool bike what ever it is.

Has block chain not roller ---Wasn't Wastyn contracted to build for Schwinn?

Nice Bike. What is the thumb wheel close to the head tube for?

For tightening steering and easier riding no handed.
