I want to thank everyone that replied with their input. I went with Avid Arch Rivals with SD7 levers and Shimano XT 8 speed shifters. I also ordered 2 pairs of padded bike shorts. Ordered everything from Pricepoint.com and really looking forward to installing everything. I like to work on things, and never worked on bikes before. I'm really looking forward to learning more about them.

www.parktools.com (I think!) do a google for Park Tools.

There is a section with some step-by-step that is very informative plus there are pics to show you what it's supposed to look like.

You're gonna wanna kill your bike trying to adjust the front derailleur. Patience! It'll come!
