Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The factors which determine BB interchange for frames are shell width and thread, and for the newer designs shell diameter. Spindle length, and/or spacers on some BB's determine chainline.

If this BB is not compatible with the new frame, you shouldn't have any problem getting an appropriate BB compatible with your crankset.
