I've built eight frames so far (photos are from the latest). My guess is that it took about 50 hours including painting. The real time toilet for me was bending the lugs to the desired angles (down tube lug was a nightmare). Also, I had to do lots of rework on the seat lug since it was a stamped POS not a pretty casting like the head lugs.
