And what type of shifters are you wanting to put on your current bike? Bar-end shifters? Stem mounted shifters? Or STI? As STI shifters are generally the most expensive part of a groupset (think a couple of hundred dollars minimum for STI levers) but if you don't mind going with one of the other options, they can be had for much less.
Yeah, I've adjusted the saddle all over the place, but it's just the large, cheap, vinyl-covered-foam thing it came with, and I think my bony butt just can't get a grip on it. I figured I would upgrade to something mid-range, hopefully with a bit of texture and not so slippery!

As far as shifters, I like the idea of STI ones, and if the rest of the work won't be too expensive, I might spring for them, but I can live with something less sophisticated as well.

Thanks again for all the advice. I'm going to take my bike into the shop and figure out what I'd like to do!
