Headset installed. Fork’s steer tube had to be cut about 1/4”. I’m always nervous when I start cutting even though I measured multiple times

NOS kickstand installed.
The RRS Schwinn Spitfire 5 had a silver kickstand. I was originally considering a gold kickstand, but decided to keep it silver. Stenciled chain guard also making an appearance.

Found a NOS Shimano Ultraglide 5 speed cassette I’ll be using instead of the more modern cassette pictured earlier in this thread.
