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

IMO your best option might be to go with a bottom pull road triple (assuming it's compatible with the lever cable pull ratio). Reversing the cable from top pull to bottom pull is easy enough using a clamp-on pulley made for the purpose, or as I do, looping the cable under either chainstay.

If looping the stay you can use a piece of teflon tubing, or as I do, a strip of metallic tape, ir muffler tape. The cable will find the shortest path on it's own and stay there.
