probably a couple of decades or until you crash it, hit a pothole or curb at speed, go through a drive through with it on top of a car, someone ****s it up trying to steal it etc. With infrequent use frames tend to die from acute trauma rather then fatigue and with things like that it's pretty much a factor of luck and how careful you are in general.
