    Can my bike handle downhill mountain biking?

    I say just go ride your damn bike! If you want to smash rock gardens and punch big jumps then you might want to upgrade to something more suitable.

    Protective gear for DH?

    I've been DHing for about 25 years now and have taken the approach of wearing it when I think it's required. ie track that I find difficult or consider it a high risk on goes the body armour.

    Aussie made DH frame, how to go about it

    Buy me a beer sometime and I'll tell you all about it.... Basically if you plan on going into production the best bet is to get in tight with the right people in Taiwan and work with them on developing your design. If you just want the satisfaction of making your own frame, buy some 6061 tubing...

    Suntour RUX forks

    Haven't ridden RUX but another option in a similar price range would be X-Fusion RV1. I ran a set of these for a while and they weren't too bad.

    Bike Geometry

    Polygon Siskiu, I think they are about $1100 and have similar geo. From reviews I've read they aren't a bad jigger for the $$

    Is the Giant Reign 27.5 2 good for downhill

    Ok now everyone seems to have had their fun with you..... A Reign is fine for light DH. If you want to go nuts then get a proper DH bike as it is the right tool for the job. Creaking noise could be your headset but is probably your forks. I know there has been issues with crown/steerer...
