just an observation; me and a friend built up both a pista and a bareknuckle in one night between drinking beers. As long as you dont build your own wheels and need to cut your own fork, it really shouldn't take more than a few hours, hardest part would be popping in the BB and cranks, which aren't time consuming at all if you have the tools.
if you are so hard up for time that a few hours of work will take a year to complete, maybe you should think about buying a car rather than a 800$ bike to cut down on your commuting time....
