Didn't see this reply, sorry. I'm not averse to getting a new wheelset and going more modern. Bit sentimental about the frame but I think the parts have had their day.
Basically I was wondering if I could just get say r7000 105 or new tiagra and get the same range I've got now. I'll check out cx guys though!

What cassette does it have on the back wheel? Probably a 7spd screw on. The cheapest way to get lower gears is typically to use a massive rear cassette. But you'd likely be limited by your 7s (possibly screw on) hub and current rear derailler capacity.
I'm well out of the loop on MTB stuff but I wonder if there isn't a group that will play nicely with cantis? Maybe have a look at what the CX racers use (before they all went to disc brakes).
