Standover isn't everything. At the risk of gross oversimplification, it's all about crank reach and KOPS (knee over pedal spindle). With a track frame, you're probably going to have a greater standover height anyhow. My Fuji Track definitely gives me a pill check if I hit the TT flat-footed, but it's otherwise comfortable.
Build it up and ride for a while. If it feels bad, then sell the frame.
