Road bars that have a 25.4mm clamp diameter should work if the stem's clamp isn't too wide to slide past the bends. Most alloy stems wouldn't have any issues with sliding the bar through.

The question will be is the mtb stem tall enough?

Is the bike a Nishiki International by chance? I chose mine in a taller size, since the frame's angles were so layed back as to shorten the top tube's reach, so then I didn't need a tall stem.
Same for my SuperSport and Varsity, I chose 24" size for both of these also.
