If you plan to leave the unsupported threaded section above the headset for some reason, then it'll be problematic for a number of reasons, whether it's possible or not..
Thanks, you seem to know what you are talking about and thus reinforce the decision to not do it.

See, the frame has a short head tube and given it is a size too small for me, any rise i can get from the steerer is a plus especially that this bike won't be seeing trails anytime soon.

My fork fits all your requirements but i do not have the resources nor the skill to do it at the moment. If only i lived nearby... I could use the help of a fellow Bike forum member.
