I just got a notice on Facebook that a page on doing this has been added to/ updated on sheldonbrown.com.http://sheldonbrown.com/upgrade.html

It has the basics. But yes, C&V talks about this all the time.

I don't recommend doing it, personally. Nothing wrong with 12 speeds. Better durability of 6/7/8 speed chain and maintenance is easier. Not to mention that a new drivetrain can be quite costly!
