Well, I just typed up a pretty long response to Nigeyy's concerns and it went poof when I tried to post it. The short version is, thanks a lot for pointing this out, but I'm not particularly concerned about the cost of the build once I have the frame. I have a lot of parts on hand, a lot of time to find more parts, and a decent bike coop as well a generous friends. Will probably have to pay to get the headset pressed in and BB faced (though looking at other threads on the Nashbar frames it probably won't need facing) but everything else I can do myself. I can also cannabalize parts from other bikes if need be. My main worry is whether this frame is fit for a proper tour.
