As if I didn't have enough going on, I'm converting this old Cannondale F500 to rigid forks:

The head tube is an outlandish 2 inches in diameter so I'm dropping in some conversion bearings to reduce it down to a reasonable 1 1/8". The original Headshok fork had seized up long ago so I'm converting it to a rigid fork.
I'm thinking I might treat and respray the corrosion deliberately badly to maintain the "rat bike" aesthetic it seems to have spent it's life evolving into
