And yes, go with 9-speed or 10-speed.
Parts...? Aside from the specs I quoted from Bikepedia? SRAM X5 triggers.

I found a few threads on other boards where others expressed that SRAM triggers are tough for smaller hands. Interesting, since I find the opposite to be true with their road levers. I LOVE my Rival and Apex on my road and CX bikes.

I'm reading mixed things about twist shifters, so maybe Shimano is the way to go for my next mtn. bike, then.
