Mainliner main squeeze?

[Balloonoob]

Found this one locally. Right around my price range. Obviously not original paint but fairly complete. I like the rims. Single speed I'm guessing. Kickstand could not be right and I'm guessing chain guard is not original? Anyone have a picture of what this may have looked like new or refurbished? Would adding front truss and rear rack be polishing a turd? Thx. https://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/d/longmont-vintage-mainliner-cruiser/6855684127.html

Found a post from 2 years ago. @parstguy '' The Mainliner was a basic, basic bike. There were little or no options to be had. Every company had their base models. The valuable bikes that are worth hundreds or thousands of dollars are unique, deluxe, or historically significant. The base models get parted often to save other higher end bikes because parts do interchange, I suspect that is one factor contributing their scarcity. I am guilty of this!'' https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/a...y-24-inch-womens-mainliners-out-there.108256/ i think I will keep hunting and find something less basic basic basic.
