Nice! I think I have Superset 2 as well. I’ll have to check today. What size seat post did you use? I think I measured 25.4mm.
I’m planning on using a Nitto UI-5Ex stem, at this stage. It’s reasonably slim looking, but I might keep an eye out for a shorter 1” threadless stem as well.
Also, I found this meme relevant this morning.

I have a very similar Osprey. I believe mine is a bit more recent model, it has stickers for "superset2"-tubing, probably the same tubes to be honest. My GT Ricochet from same year weights nearly the same (5.2lbs) and it features Tange MTB double butted tubes. Sheldon Brown (himself) has some version of the Osprey listed in his history of bikes, if it is good enough for him...
I suggest try to find a skinny stem to go with the shim. The tubes are quite thin in this and in my humble opinion most of the 28,6/31.8 stems don't fit the aesthetic as well. Looking forward to see you put this one together...
First time visiting this forum and I feel the urge to post my bikes... Not much effort put into this one but it is still one of my favourites. Frame is not the lightest but I dig the geometry and lugs are cool. My gf rides it nowadays as I have spiraled deeper into the retro mtb madness.
