Whatizit? who can ID this bicycle?

[genesmachines]

I am interested in this bike but would like some info on it, what brand is it? please. The frame looks older than having the 26 X 1.75 tires on it. The rear brake arm is blank. I am hoping some one will recognize the chain guard or front sprocket.

Not quite, it's a CBC/Ross. If the serial starts with R, next two digits are the year. I'd expect there's a hole in the head tube, that'd be covered by a badge. Fork crown cover is missing.
