New Forks, OH MY GOODNESS.

[Salar]

That's more like it cromo.

Be brave, do the forks yourself.

I will have a go but need the star nut tool!

 

[Salar]

Don't have to use a special tool, there's a few ways to do it. Old fashioned hammer and screwdriver method, socket extension and mallet or a timber dowel, bit of pipe etc etc.
Just be careful and make sure it stays square.

Getting them out is more difficult.

Oh my goodness indeed. That does now look very silly. Road bike forks into a mtb frame

It doesn't look any different to any other modern sloping geometry frame. Since when did MTB's have to have suspension anyway? None of mine have, and I wouldn't call my rigid forks "road"

Just looking online. Doesn’t look difficult at all.

They don't, but they should have forks of an appropriate length to put the headset at the intended level and have the rear stays parallel to the ground rather than pointing downwards and the the bottom bracket sitting dangerously close to the ground.

Competely unrelated there is nothing at all wrong with fully rigid MTB's, preferable for light off road in some. Cases
