For your plan for monstercross (would look for the drop-bar MTB conversion threads on BF as they are quite useful) would do some research before putting too much time/money into any old bike, sticking dropbars on an MTB is not an easy task, as the geometry changes, and you will probably need a shorter riser stem which maybe very HTF for 1" threaded, also you probably want to start with a large bike frame than if you were using it as an MTB, although as your bike is from the early '90s (from the specs you have given) anything could go angles/size wise, as MTB design didn't really settle down till '93/4 when frames were rapidly going 1 1/8" and threadless.
Yeah I knew those problems and I already solved them. My frame have a right top tube length for my body as well as the stem. I'm feeling really comfortable while riding.
