Threaded vs. threadless steerer on a new build.
I'm starting the planning for a new steel road build and I have a choice between a frame with a traditional threaded steerer vs. a more modern threadless. I already have a vintage build that's reserved for Eroica and the intention for the new bike is an alternative to my main carbon road bike for endurance rides and centuries. The groupset is going to be a modern Campy 11 or 12 speed.
I'm leaning towards threadless headset and cockpit setup but I thought I gather opinions.
