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

This is what separates mechanics from guys who assemble stuff.

I assume you've searched diligently, and it's not likely you somehow missed the one that will work as is.

So, time to be creative. Find one that might work "if only......", and look for a workaround.

For example, if one is close but the mounting bolts are to close for your fat stays, consider using a longer bolt, bent or curved to get the needed clearance.

Being able to turn "gee...if only...possibly..." into an idea, and massage it into a solution, is a skill that once developed, never goes away.
