The 7 speed shifters in indexed mode will operate your gears nicely from 8 down to 2, at which point you can then push the lever past the last click from 2 into 1, as long as the stop on first gear is set nicely on the derailleur. I have a bike set up this way and it works perfectly, if that all makes sense?

So I went an gone done a stupid. I brought some 8 speed 5500 105 bits, all lovely and shiny, however my downtube shifters (rx100) is 7 speed.
See my issue!! Anyway I can make it work because I dont wanna spend anymore money.
