With an 8-hour work-day this means per bike you need just 24 minutes. To assemble one bike from scratch, starting with picking up all the separated frame parts, components and small bits and ending up with a finished, quality tested bike, packed, labeled and ready to pick up by a courier. With a bike design as complex as the helix, w/o experience and w/o a formal, proven process or assembly line. I would really like to see that...

I understand he will go slower, hence his schedule is pretty easy. IMHO
I'd rather say his schedule is not "pretty easy" but just way more realistic than your's.
