Pompino aren't the toughest of frame you can get, the chainstay for instance are susceptible to cracking.
Structurally wise, shouldn't be a problem cutting it, but with the Pompino I would advise against it.
Those are probably all down to the bridge acting as a stress riser, no?
Only kidding, probably won't cut it out. Not till October at least.
The green one definitely broke where it did because the owner failed to cut out the bridge. Without that user error, it would have snapped off at the BB shell :-)
