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

If you saw it first and were asking if you should buy it, I'd have said pass. But that ship has sailed, and you're now the proud owner of this gem. So my answer is now, build it up and ride it to your hearts content.

Odds are the wheelbase is only slightly shorter, and it might still track true, so you can ignore the issue entirely. OTO - if it doesn't track, you can invest a bit more effort and deal with it.
