I don't use that term much. Over the life cycle of a bike, it can receive a few updates.
Some people may be sticklers for "originality" of a C&V, but the true originals are those that have gotten stuck hanging in a garage for 30+ years.
One might argue that a bike assembled from parts from all NOS parts is a "Fankenbike".

What if my Colnago came with sewups... years ago. Which I rode for many years, but eventually changed out for clinchers?

Now, for "Fankenbikes"...
My Steyer Clubman/Mongoose Massif hybrid certainly would fit into the Frankenbike category. So I don't repeat all the photos too many times, here are some build photos.

So much of a Frankenbike that people open a path in front of me like Moses and the Red Sea.

My Litespeed from the Velo Chepo Contest also might be considered as a Frankenbike.

This would fall into the Franken category due to a 26"-->700c conversion, Cantis--> center pull rear, side pull front, plus a Litespeed frame and Schwinn fork. Mismatched cranks??? And, it was a scratch assembly with the only "original" parts being the main frame, seat post, seat, front derailleur, and the 3 black sections of cable housing. The shifters, front derailleur, and rear derailleur are 3 different brands, and represent multiple speed options.
