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

Short answer ----- NO.

A threadless system requires a fork steerer roughly 2" longer than the threaded one it replaces. That's because you need the 2" for the threadless stem.

There are some hybrid headset systems that offer some features of threadless in terms of adjustment, but the real issue remains whether you wish a quill or threadless stem.
