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

It's very feasible and builds a decent. You'll have to do some calculating for spoke lengths, but the hardest part might be deciding to phase the left and right flanges.

When calculating spoke lengths for non normal builds, I abandon calculators and go back to what we did before computer power got cheap.

Decide which holes in each flange will have the spokes going in the most opposite directions. Measure the distance apart of these holes (across centerline of the hub). Subtract from ERD (allowing for nipple height), and divide by two. Now add 1mm for every 10mm of CTF measurement, + another 2mm for good luck (accounts for over/under lace, and other stuff) and you have a spoke length that should work.
