Thanks Ettiene for the shifters!

Still needed is a 10sp Shimano rear derailleur, and if someone's got a stem shorter than 100mm that'd be much appreciated...

 

EDIT: 25.4mm stem

Okay, so it's been a while, but I'm posting now aren't I?

The 36t Truvativ chainring from PartyDave is much appreciated!

Thank you berg_fiets for donating some Ergon GP3's, and a 24t chainring. That completes the 2x10 setup I have in mind!

Much thanks to everyone involved up to this stage.

I still require a Shimano 10x rd and then the building can start!

The Ergon grips are really comfy, and those bars, paired with the stem give much better handling(from 560 to 620mm):

The crankset and new BB make the bike feel fresh again:

The V-brakes make a VERY noticeable improvement on the old canty's:

And last, but not least, there's the drivetrain, which works really smooth and is bombproof. There will be many happy miles to come from it!

Once again, many many thanks to everyone who was involved, the owner is very happy with his new(sort of) bike!

 

THIS is what a community is about!
