I will likely be picking up a new road bike frame and I have the choice of threaded vs. non threaded headset and fork. It comes with a 1" threaded now but the seller will swap that out with new forks if I want to. Any advantage in going non threaded?

go threadless.. So you can choose from a wide range of stem lengths and angles...
Plus, I think threadless forks/stems are mechanically stronger.. And I think it is lighter too...
