I am starting out on a Rebuild project.

I have a 7005 Hardtail Aluminium frame and I want to build a bike suitable for hard baked clay/stone tracks with lot's of quite steep sections.

Can anyone reccomend a good Set of forks?

I also need to get hold of a good set up for the gears. it's currently 21 gear 22/28 being the lowest gear. I need to get lower gears. and need reccomendations for chainrings /crankset /cassette and shifters..

Not much to ask is it!!

(I haven't even thought about upgrading the brakes yet and yes i do know that a new bike would probably be cheaper ...but I enjoy the challenge of building my own stuff)

    gears just get a Deore comlete set. will give 34 rear 22 front as lowest.
