You can build all the bikes you want with fugly threadless, have at it.
This frame was partly built around the oldschool Campy HS, non-negotiable, glad you think you're smarter than Dave Levy, you're not.
The extended HT was to make the frame fit my unusual measurements, fork threading and long steerer was to facilitate it as well.
So here's the rub, maybe you can see how it works.
Even you should be able to see that the whole expander is well below the threads.
So you didn't know...
If perhaps someone has converted your upper headset to threadless, I would not really expect anyone to assume such "creative" (though far from original) work to be present.
And, if so, I would assume that all obvious safety issues have been addressed.
This kind of safety issue of course becomes much more of a thing when the rider's size/weight are on the larger end of the bell curve, while us "fleas" can get away with certain compromises of strength for perhaps a very long period of usage.
