2. How did you retain that straightness when the adhesive dried?
I added the fork when initially tacking the joints together and aligned the frame on my work stand so that both dropouts and fork ends were square and level. I also used the edge of the work stand to make sure the front and back did not dogleg. I checked occasionally while drying (30 minutes to 1 hour) and after that the sections were set. Unlike a bamboo kit this had nub ends on the fittings that helped keep the pipes straight.
