Took bike to LBS, picked up Sunlite Slick Brake Cable with Housing, and Sunlite Slick Shifter Cable with Housing.

They are Teflon cables, and pretty cheap, $5 each. Not Stainless Steel, but Teflon coated, and the next step up was some Teflon and Stainless Jagwire cable, it was $8 just for the cable and needed housing. Talked to my GF and she made me realize that this is an entry level bike, and I should not get too expensive components, and I agree. Sunlite and Origin8 are at the basic level, but they make quality parts from what I have seen. Teflon coating seemed the most important, I don't see the need for stainless steel, and braided line is way to expensive. And the line is galvanized, which with housing should mean no rust issues. Remember I do not ride in the rain, I am a fair-weather rider, and my bike is in my trunk when not being ridden.
Also got an Origin8 Comfortech Saddle,

This saddle for $30 looked good. The LBS did not have a good selection of lower priced seats, it was this, or spend 50 to 150. LBS are nice though, he said buy and seat ride it for a week, if you don't like it, bring it back for a refund, or try another. This seat is a little wider and thicker than the stock I am hoping it is more comfortable.
I was also looking at the, Planet Bike Men A.R.S. Anatmoic Relief seat, but it looked to bulky for the bike.
The Avenir Men 100 series Mountain seat looked nice also. Both on Amazon for about $20 bucks.
Also got some Origin8 Pro Force Brake Levers, they looked really good, and felt good, was looking at these of some Origin8 Minis, but the LBS had the Pro Force Levers in stock. $25 at the LBS.

Also of course told them to tighten the Headset.
I think I am done with upgrades for now, would like a better shifter, but that is for later, already spent too much money on these upgrades, and getting it set-up. In the future it would be nice to get a higher quality Bottom Bracket, Crank, Wheels or really, Wheel Bearings, Rear Derailleur, and that would make the bike about perfect.
