Is there a way to determine/guesstimate how much I will need? Thanks a lot for the offer though....

First off, what all are you hooking up? Just brakes i assume? Front only?
If its front only... like... less than 2 feet.

I don't know if it's light enough, but Shimano has the XTR cable kit in grey. High quality cable and housing for $20-25.

Derailer and brake housing are different things. You can use either for brakes, but modern derailers have to have derailer housing.

V-O has some interesting options:

I like the metallic braided stuff in particular.
I use Jagwire in "Ice Grey" in bulk for all my bikes, that way it looks like I have Dura-Ace/XTR without having to buy the $$$ Shimano kit.
