I actually have my original fork out of my 78 or 79 (never knew which it is) Competition G.S. I'm sawing off the threaded part and going to braze in a non thread piece from a used fork the bike shop gave me so I can make it threadless.

My thread gages tell me that my original and the junk fork that looks like it came from an early mountain bike are both 24 tpi.

Not always.
