Hello! That’s a lot of changes you’re planning. Adding an extra three inches of wheel maybe tricky for frame clearances. If you take a look with the current 26 inch wheels does it look like there would be room for 29ers? As for switching in for hydraulic brakes, you could go with magura rim brakes which would swap in onto the cantilever brake posts, but I rather think you’re interested in adding disc brakes. This is possible with welding. There’s examples in this forum and the web of folks adding discs mounts to retro frames at back and of course some suspension forks come with the mount tabs in you can find something to fit the head tube. Adding a 10 speed ‘star’ (cassette)? may also be tricky owing to the width of the rear wheel spacing. Again the web has examples of making retro hubs take 8 or even 9 speed. Changing out the steering (handle bars) is easy if you find the correct diameter bar for your currrent stem. Once you start changing stems it becomes more complex. In summary anything is possible with work but may not be worth it. Maybe start with adding lower volume tyres and wider bars. All the best! I’m sure everyone is curious what items 3 and 7 are :)
