Threaded/threadless: same HT?
Is there a difference in headtubes for threaded VS nonthreaded headsets and steerer tubes of the same size? Can either system be swapped for the other in the same frame?

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!
As long as the size (usually 1" or 1-1/8") is the same and the headtube takes press-in headset cups, you can fit the frame with either a threaded or threadless headset at will and use the matching type of fork.
