I know several that do or have. I mentioned earlier Peter Mooney, who combines running a full service bike shop with building custom frames.
Toby Stanton runs Hot Tubes in Shirley, which does general bicycle repair, in addition to specializing in frame repair and painting. On the Hot Tubes web site, it says that Toby Stanton has build 500 frames since 1991, which is an average of 17 per year.
Tom Stevens has done just about everything in the New England bike racing community, from being a top New England racer himself a promoter of major races, a team manager, and a coach. He makes a living in a number of vocations, including carpentry. And he also builds custom frames under the Spin Arts/Stevens label.
