I am looking at a single speed frame that come with a threadless headset. I like quill stems and was wondering if I could simply remove the threadless and put in a treaded headset and trim the steerer tube to a proper length.

A threadless steerer tube wouldn't be long enough to use and you would have make your own threads with a die if there was enough.

A threaded headset works with the fork threaded at the top of the steerer tube, which would mean you would need a NEW threaded type fork. So say if I had a 1" threaded headset I would need the fork to go with it i.e 1" threaded fork.

Hope this helps although i didn't quite understand what you wanted, I'm not that at great explaining things either

yes, it can be done.
You would need a threaded headset, and a threaded fork.
You could have threads added to your existing fork, however finding someone to do it could prove problematic.

Thanks for your help. And yes your answer was explained just fine for me to figure out... this will be more work then I am looking for. Its the Milwaukee Frames built for Ben's Cycles by Waterford. I like the bars high and threadless headsets don't look that great like that.

Thanks for the detail diagram. That showed me something about the headset I forgot.
