You can certainly get a longer quill stem, but if you've got a larger or cheaper source of threadless stems, I'd suggest using a threaded-to-threadless adapter:

Your Trek 700 MultiTrack, if it's anything like my wife's 700 MultiTrack Sport, probably needs the 1" quill rather than the 1 1/8". Note that the threadless part is always 1 1/8", but the threaded "quill part" is 1".
