Road/touring bike build up.

Ok, so I've been looking around and I found some parts that I'd like to get some opinions on. What do you guys think of this combination?

All Shimano parts btw:

LX FC-M582 crankset

RD-M771 rear derailleur

CS-M770 9 spd cassette

I found a what I think is a good deal on a crankset, the one listed above is on sale for $85 here: http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/CR303A00-Shimano+Lx+Fc-M582+Crankset.aspx

It gives me the triple crankset that I'd like to have and is pretty reasonable in price compared to the 105 crankset I found for $139.

As for front derailleur and shifters I'm open to suggestion. It seems like the most cost effective way to go would be to use bar end shifters.

So what do ya think?

Thanks!!!
