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

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

If it were my bike and the bridge looked like that, and the area surrounding the bolt was solid, and I only needed 2 millimeters, I'd pull out my Nicholson bastards and make them earn their keep. 2 minutes later later I'd remount the brake throw in the wheel and be on my way.

Whether the OPs bridge has enough meat to spare is a judgment call, but if it has this kind of bulge in the middle it probably does.
