It is almost certainly not worth the risk. Just get a nice threadless stem...
not disagreeing with you here, but doesn't the BI kilo frameset come with a fork that has a super long steerer that is partially threaded up top so you can go either way? i assume it could be the same fork, thus, safe for threading.
