The Pompino is an excellent choice, strong frame with mount for canti, mudguard, rack and still have room for fatter tyres.
Get the on-one headset (smoothie I think it's called), while Chris King headset are fantastic, it's not exactly a *necessity *to have them on every bike.
good choice on the white industries freewheel though, they're quieter and smoother than the alternative.
As for chainset, you got a huge range of choice, the sugino messenger is a trustworthy chainset that work exactly as it should, but that doesn't mean other cheaper version are not as good, (The Sugino RD chainset is slightly cheaper than the messenger, and it doesn't have the super-thick chainring, should be lighter too).
What you've describe is a project, so it'd be best in the Current Project topic so everyone can able to see what you're (and other's) up to.
