To me, the "I" references seem to indicate when he was actually building frames, while "we" refers to the company and a period when he was no longer building frames personally.
Reading too much into the pronouns, maybe? And no one disputed that he did/learned welding at Gloria, as far as I recall, just whether he actually built frames. I'm inclined to go with Citoyen du Monde on this issue. Plus, Ernesto is perfectly capable of bending the truth. As I've said, I wouldn't be surprised either way on the "did he or didn't he build frames" question - and I suspect we'll never know.
