As much as I want to build the Olympic through to the end, I've lost the mojo. I'll still build it into a ridable bare steel bike, just not for this build off.
I was moving stuff around in the garage for a photo session to show off the springers I've collected when I threw this Beehive springer on the Hawthorne.
That spark has been burning in my mind since last week and I couldn't get it out. So I pulled it out again and threw some parts at it to see what would stick
Too fat and lose
Too skinny
Too gawdy (it screams "Look at me, I'm trying to be Mr Kingfish") lol
Now THIS is what I'm talking about!
Some astute followers might recognize this Hawthorne frame. It was the starting point of my Girthy Gerty build from '22. The tank I bought for Gerty didn't quite fit this bike, but I still really like the lines of the frame. The (new) plan is still going to be cyberpunk inspired. I'm going to build a tank from scratch for it, as well as a few other 'punk add-ons

The decision to switch frames was completely because of a lack of motivation. It has nothing to do with the stripped out and seized quill type seat post that somehow got jammed in the seat tube. Nope, nothing at all
I don't see you going wrong with any of those mockups, but I do like the one you've picked for now. The Olympic will still be there for you another day. Keep soaking it in PB Blaster.
HEE HAWthorne
