Moving 7.5 FX Components to a Crosscheck?

Hi guys,

I'm tiring of the 7.5FX that I've been using for about 8 months of urban commuting. It's the 2010 model with Deore LX components and an Octalink crank. Stock except for some dual platform pedals and a bontrager rear rack.

I'm looking for a new project and considering building up a Crosscheck for commuting duty. Aside from ditching the trigger shifters for brifters (I'd like drop bars on the crosscheck), would most of my components be movable onto the crosscheck frame? I'm specifically concerned about the BB/crank, but would also appreciate any knowledge you guys have on the rack, cassette, derailleurs, etc. If this project is going to turn into buying an entire new bike, I might put it to bed. Whatever happens, I will not be keeping the SSR wheels and Bontrager hard case tires.

Thanks!
