I have 10" on my homebuilt square. The bike X is gonna be 6 ". That the distance between the Bottom bracket and the seat height. So the Bike X is 19" on seat height and the BB height is 25" The second pic look like it gonna be a chopper eh?? LOL

Ohhhh, you've been bitten by the Hacker Syndrome!!  Haven't even finished the SWB under the table, and building a LWB already...looks like fun...and a bit like my garage!!  Spark 'em if you got 'em!!  You need to post these on the Zombie site!
 
What kind of seat is that?

Where are you seeing the BB on that? The only thing that even looks close to a BB shell is under and behind the seat, and I think that's only there because the rear triangle was salvaged from a DF bike (although it would be a great place to mount a mid-drive with a lefty drive from the cranks)
