FWIW my distinctions of built (for this discussion) is something akin to the following (and apologies to any whose toes I might step on in advance). Richard "builds" his frames as opposed to Ben Serotta who manufactures frames. Richard's process (as detailed at Campy Only) is a one man operation start to finish (with the exception of Joe Bell who does painting). Ben Serotta has a staff who assemble, weld, braze, glue and paint his frames. Does that make sense?
