As others have said, this could be an early Fisher, Klein, or Viscount frame that used pressed-in cartridge bearings. If so, the frame might be worth saving. There were also frames that had 2-piece cranks with pressed-in bearing races that were - at best - cheap junk. Pictures would help figure out what your bike is.
