Can a frame-builder replace a 1 inch threadless steerer with a threaded steerer?
I need to replace a vintage cyclocross fork. I want to retain the lugged crown and threaded steerer of the original while having fender mounts and 80mm canti-stud centers. I have found a new fork that is close to ideal, except it is only sold with a threadless steerer (both 1 inch and 1 1/8 inch are sold). I already know that you can't just thread a threadless fork due to the thinner wall thickness of the steerer.
Can an experienced framebuilder replace or section-in a threaded steerer?
