local bike parts needed

I need to replace shifters, cables, chain, etc. I'd like to buy locally in Denver, preferably Southeast. Any recommendations for good sources. I'm thinking Sora or Tiagra shifters. I'm just learning to do this kind of work on my bike, so a source with good advice would be a big plus.

I volunteer out there...Shop Lead on Saturdays.
