Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If the ID of a non-integrated HS head tube is slightly over 1-1/4" (34mm) then it takes a 1-1/8 headset. Here's a link to headset dimensions for your reference.

The decision threaded or threadless is independent of the frame, and depends on the fork and type of stem used, though availability of threaded 1-1/8 forks and parts for them is extremely limited these days.

BTW- you don't need precision measuring tools, because there's only one size in this range to worry about.
