There's a huge variation in how long it takes for a builder to build a frame. A proficient builder with an efficient work environment can probably build a basic TIG welded frame in half a day. On the other hand, for more artisan frames, there is almost no limit to how long a builder could spend. In the case of Speedvagen, they probably spent more time on paint than they did cutting and welding their frames.
