hi, no clue about the year of the Claud Butler frame, just guessing its something between 1995-2001 (because in early 2000s frames usually got a disc brake mount at the back), and yes, very likely using Aluminum 7005,
but to me pretty obviously, this is bike is a custom build, with different brakes, different rims / hubs, and components mixed over various years.

The pictures aren't very good to see details, or I need glasses.
The crank might be a Sugino Impel or Shimano Exage, both from Mid Nineties, the rear derailleur looks like a LX 570 from 2000 or later.
The Marzocchi Bomber suspension fork has typically a clear indication of production year, your's should be roughly from 2001.

Just out of interest would the front shocks that are in the picture come with the bike as in the previous shocks on some of the bikes I've seen are rock shock as 90,s CB thanks
