Finally found the time to get the Genesis into a rideable state with a rack attached, proper chuffed! Finished off the brazing this evening and drilled some holes, then had a quick spin round town. It's definitely on the sedate side of things given it weighs about 15 tons, but it's smooth, comfortable and the steering is actually pretty nimble. Still needs a brace between the HT and rack before I put any serious weight on it. I'll braze some nuts into the four corners of the rack to take some wing bolts for easy removal of a bread crate for chucking shopping in.
