ISO Waterford built Schwinn Paramount frameset 55 or 56cm c-t

Hello All:
I'm interested in picking up a late 80s to early 90s 55 or 56cm Schwinn Paramount frameset made by Waterford. Scratched paint is okay for this project buy no rust or dents please. I already search CL nationwide so I'm really hoping one of you might have one hanging in your basement. Any body? I'm not quite as interested in the Match Cycles 1999 version but might be persuaded.
Cheers,
Jim

An LBS near to me used to be a Schwinn dealer and has a couple frames like you're looking for hanging up. I'm not sure if they're for sale, but I can ask.

Schwinn Paramount - Vintage steel!: Looks like a 56 instead of a 58, but I can't be sure.

Yes, I am aware of all three of these from my searches. As Shelbyfv pointed out, the first two are Asian built. The third one looks pretty good but is being sold as a bike not a frameset.
What I was really hoping one of you might have one hanging in your basement or garage and this post might flush it out.
Cheers,
Jim

That would be great! Or, if you'd simply tell the shop I could call them myself.
Cheers,
Jim

The original location is South Side Cyclery on Gravois. That's where I've seen the Paramounts. The manager is Chris.

Did you find a frame?
I have a '89 Paramount sitting in my garage but a number of frames to build. I saw this post and have been struggling with myself for a few days. If you have found one that would be awesome. If not check my signature for a link to my stable. White Paramount near the end with the frames. I have to re-check the size.
Here's hoping that you have found what you were looking for.

Bummer. Those Paramounts belong to the owner and are not for sale.
