vomit yellow frame

[scarygerbil]

can anyone help identify this very poorly painted frame that a picked up

Can't help I'm afraid but looks like it might clean up rather nicely. Might be worth scraping the paint off carefully to see if any decals underneath.
Anything on the BB?

I wonder what the badge outline was? Strange dropouts at the rear being sort of filled in at the back to make them like vertical dropouts.

From those pics - it could be anything..

My Raleigh Criterium has similar, although in that case they are much cheaper looking pressed dropouts rather than those nice ones. I think it was the beginnings of holding the axle in the right place for indexing.

It may just be my screen, but the forks look a little bent ?

- and is there a crease in the down tube level with fork crown?

Ah....and the top tube, just behind the headlug.

the frame is good its just the horrible hand painted finish that's distorting the pics
done a bit more googling and the headbadge shape seems to be a Schwinn but I have no clue about these bikes

That looks like it may be a possibility. This is my Schwinn from roughly the same period and it does share certain similarities, especially the little nub behind the head tube. Fork crowns vary though. My badge is riveted on and I can see the holes in your pic. Rear drops are the same style.

Whilst it won't id the frame Sheldon can help indicate the tubing and quality of frame by checking the seatpost diameter.

This is the bike. Lovely ride from the cro-mo frame. I forgot to mention no makings on the BB. The only variance is that my frame has fluted top seat stays, although yours might be caked with paint.
@Gravity Aided might be able to offer some help here.

OK - the camera lense does no favours either - you don't really have a curved window sill and curved brickwork, do you?
edit - that badge shape is quite distinctive - a sort of fat shield shape with rivets at the side - if you can find a badge that matches you may have the anwer.

You could try removing some of the paint with cellulose thinners on a rag to see if there are any transfers beneath that lovely yellow paint.
