Genesis has been stripped and mounted to the jig. Frame is a reasonable 1850g, won't be light by the time I'm finished! Altering the frame should be relatively straightforward, chop off the existing HT, braze on a new longer one and then a horizontal brace between bottom of HT and middle of DT. Then build a separate rack that will bolt onto the frame. Sent a quote inquiry to Ceeway for tubes/braze one and ordered some square section from metals4u. Finalising the bits for the front wheel before ordering for that too.
Sorted the shed and moved a couple of bikes into the house to make room for brazing in the shed when the weather is rubbish.
