I think I'm going with Camilo's suggestion and just use a threaded stem adapter. I didn't know those even existed so thanks Camilo!
Personally, I think a nice quill stem looks far cleaner than a threaded to threadless adapter with threadless stem and you'll still have the threaded headset sitting below it but it's your bike and your $$.
