How did you re-thread the fork, out of interest? I did consider running a 1” die down the threads, starting with it loose and working it tighter each time until a 1” headset wound onto it. The threads are so close I think it would have been fine.
We happened to have a 26x1 tap at work, but not a die holder big enough to hold a 1” die. I tried a few LBSs and none of them had a fork threading die that I could have offered up to see if it was going to work. I’d have had to have bought both a die and holder just to find out.

Nice job.
I also had to re thread the top of the fork to fit the new Headset.
But my BB is BSA. But had to re thread that too because it was broken of all rust.
And two weeks after installed the seat post I can not get it of. Must have stucked of all rust in the frame, don't even need a seat clamp haha.
Love these Soviet bikes
Hmm, Error when I add image.
