Thanx everyone for all of the info and advise. I now have a good idea of what to look for. As for the shifting problem nobody has put a wrench on it since I bought it last Saturday. But I am taking it to the shop soon. Till then I will just have to ride my old faithful Nishiki. Thanx again.

You said you bought it last saturday. Then if it was working when you bought it, can i assume then that the cables stretch like they normally do on a new bike. If you put enough miles on the bike and you use the shifters alot, then the cable most likely stretched. If it hasnt worked since day one then something may be wrong.
