I wouldn't put too much stock in the date on the fork; the lugs, "speared" Rivendell decal and horizontal dropouts point to that frame being a pre-2000s All Rounder or possibly a Mountain..it's gorgeous! Clearances had widened by the time of your Atlantis. On Sunday, March 26, 2023 at 8:33:14

It's a triple with a wide-ish cage to clear 7/8-speed chains, which I prefer on 9-speed systems cuz you don't have to trim as often to clear the narrower chain. Assuming you're using friction front shifting it should be fine*, index compatibility is a whole 'nother kettle of beans or whatever
