As it happens, I am working on similar project- though this will be a Kaffenback as a fast tourer/ winter road bike.
Double (50/34 ) at the front and a 9 speed touring block@ the back
Bar end shifters and shimano bits and pieces.
Still not sure whether to use Midge Bars or Bell laps....
They do work well as tourers, but they are not as adaptable as Cross Checks as you can't really have tyres bigger than 28's and mudguards.
