Bar end shifters would be very tempting if I could find them for a reasonable price. I now have index-compatible gear cable so I could go indexed if I wanted to.
What would I have to take into consideration? I would probably get a 6 or 7 speed block, so would I then have to get a Campagnolo 6/7 speed bar-end shifters? Are they always indexed shifters? What diameter do your bars have to be to fit them?
You'll need an indexed rear derailleur (unless you get lucky). I'd stick with friction shifters, seeing as you've already got most of it. Suntour bar ends are good, they use a ratchet. Have you considered stem mounted shifters like this.

I did LEJoG a few years ago, ended up using a Suntour VX rear mech, Exage 7spd rear hub (found on a skip bike) built into a Sputnik rim, Exage triple chainset, another skip find front wheel (MA40/Campag Tipo), a pair of 32mm Panaracer Paselas, and Weinman centrepulls. It all worked fine, and commuted on it for a year.
My current fav gearing is Simplex retrofricton shifters and a NOS Sachs New Success rear mech that I got for a quid.
If you want to cycle around Britain and the continent, I'd go for a pair of Deore hubs built into Sputniks by someone good like Arup, Marathons or Paselas (lighter), bar end shifters if you're riding drops, and a decent saddle. I'd second the Stronglight Impact c/set. Personally, I don't worry too much about seat pins, stems and bars (make sure they're wide enough). You can go into any bikeshop and get it fixed.
