Riders have been pairing the classic Sturmey trigger with drop bars since before the war. The Great War. FWIW, here's my Capo w/ brifter shifted SRAM T3.

I like the idea of the 8-speed but I'm confused about why I'd have to buy a crank.
The S-A 8s are 1:1 in first gear. Unless you use a v. small chainwheel you wind up with HIGH gears.
