I have some extra parts and thought of building a steel party bike, which im thinking to get either Marin Nicasio 2 (Carbon Fork) or Surly Midnight Special
The Nicasio i can get it around 400usd , Surly MS is around 1000 usd
Dunno what you are looking for feature wise / clearance wise but on pure aesthetics the Marin is worlds better looking with the color and the dropped stays. I frequently think Surly’s are not very attractive, and of course I realize not everyone shares this opinion.

I would go with the Marin and use the saved money to get other parts or accessories, like bags, lights, etc.

Marin, because of the carbon fork. Tried a lot of frame material with steel and carbon forks and the latter is noticable more comfortable.
