On-One Pompino?

So I have a decent rear wheel with 120mm spacing along with a bunch of other SS parts from a sw8 fixie conversion years ago and I'd like to hang them on a frame with some decent tire clearance for off road jaunts. A Steamroller would be my first choice but I've been watching Craigslist for months and I haven't seen anything within a few hundred miles of me in my size (56ish). A new Steamroller frame and fork is like $430 new and that's a lot of scrilla for me right now, especially for a janky mismatched parts bike. Has anybody messed with an On-One Pompino? I've searched and studied some builds and other than having weird sizing and toe overlap issues (again, probably due to improper sizing) it seems like a solid enough frame. Both the Surly and the Pomp appear to be Taiwanese double butted 4130 frames with 120 spacing and decent clearance, but it looks like I can get a Pomp for like $206. Tell me why I shouldn't. Please.

Thank you.
