It is a hybrid now, however they still market it as a touring/recreational bike apparently.

Okay after taking a measurement with a caliper, the fork IS actually 1 1/8'' threaded with a quill stem. In my ignorance of threaded forks I just assumed it was 1'' since that's all i'd ever heard of. So looks like I don't have a problem after all. Time to shop for forks!

I checked Specialized's website, it confuses me why even the 2014 model of the Expedition still comes with quill stems... they could just as easy put an adjustable threadless stem/fork on there.

But anyway thanks for your advice guys, I'm sure i'll have more questions on this forum since this is my first major bike restoration project.
