The alternative fork won't be of much, if any, help at all, since the extra length is simply the clamping area for the threadless stem it would call for. When comparing threaded and threadless forks for effective height, figure that a threadless fork needs to be 2-2.5" longer than the threaded to compensate for the other design factors.

You are absolutely correct and i realized that while exchanging with you- all- in this thread.

Thanks a lot

Yes i think i will install the threaded Miyata non original fork that's on the right and take it from there... stick with a threaded setup because that is what i wanted and imagined since the day i put this project together.The components i have used are all top quality and that is another compelling reason...

Soma has a tall Quill to threadless converter.. But You probably wont like the aesthetics .
