Wow, thanks. That's a partlist I can work with.

I guess most of these parts can be sourced cheaper if used, so I'll have a look around.
Out of curiosity: what ring size / cassette size did you go for?
Murphy's_Law-
I think 11-25.
Worth mentioning too that I also picked up a chain guide for the front ring from Charlie the Bikemonger - http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/gusset-lil-chap--1x-chain-device-1x9-1x10-2805-p.asp
I need to fit that now that I think about it.....

Strangely enough last week I upgraded my Cross Check from the stock SS to 1x8 with a downtube shifter. Brixton cycles did the work for me and ordered the parts. It's all Shimano - Claris short derailleur, Sora casette and the Dura Ace 8-speed indexed downtube shifter. It's my commuter dad-bike so I'm not fussy about the parts. Brixton do a lot of these conversions so for £200 for all new bits (including a back wheel) plus labour it was money well spent.
