This is one of the first mountain bikes and it has touring geometry.

I’m trying to use as many of my Atlantis parts as I can, so I would have loved it if I could have just moved the (quill) stem and handlebars over as is. I might still do that with this adapter just to see if the handling is ok if I put the bottom of the drops equal to the seat. I hadn’t really thought about just putting in a new headset, so I’ll have to read about it. That would give me a standard
dimension to work with. But the adapter is only $25 if it’s a safe option.
