yeah, don't get a quill adaptor; those are best used for when you have a threaded fork that *you want to keep* but still want modern stem selection

just ditch the fork; it's not a good one.
Get a threadless rigid fork (that bike is meant to be non-suspended at any rate, that random SR fork is probably offsetting the geometry)
things will be much cleaner
What makes it womens specific? Is this just a marketing ploy for a shorter stem?
