I managed to get a great deal on a slightly beat up Specialized Expedition on craigslist. The cranks/hubs spin like butter and have no play or give whatsoever and the frame is in good condition. The bike should be more than capable of handling my daily commute and some light trails once I fix it up.

Okay to the point, the suspension fork is completely shot. It has a 1'' quill stem, and I was wanting to get a 1 1/8'' threadless fork for the bike and get a threadless stem and handlebar setup on it. I've honestly never even touched a bike with a quill stem before so this is all new to me and I'm not sure if it's possible to just slap a 1 1/8'' threadless fork on the bike or if theres a compatibility issue making it impossible or way more effort than it's worth. I know I could just use a threadless adapter if I had to, but I'd really like to ditch quill stems altogether in this bike. So, what exactly are my options here?
