Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

An adjustable quill stem in an adaptor. High on the contraption scale.

Huge difference in bikes you showed - sizing... !!! One of those ( or both) would not be a fit.
get that figured out before anything else...
once you have that or willing to give some info here, you’ll get some good thoughts.
until then , not likely...
Ride On

You should learn to embrace change, and mock it's failings every step of the way.
