I did that with a Cannondale TT frame but it never worked quite right for me. Sold it and switched the stuff to a Litespeed Ultimate that popped up on eBay and I've been good.
OP's bike is a good looking bike.

Welp, sold my BMC. I've barely ridden it since I built this up, and I'm enjoying it way more. The lack of rear clearance and need for a smaller tire make it a bit buzzier, but it feels so nice to climb on, and despite putting me in an extremely aggressive position it's really comfortable, did 7 hours this weekend without a complaint.

It does climb way better than the BMC though (while being a much cheaper bike). The chainstays being 2cm shorter and the head tube being 4.5cm shorter makes it feel extremely planted when you get out of the saddle. Is it faster up hills? not really. Does it feel better? oh yeah.
