If you assign it a part number and keep a record of it in a database, then yes.
Why should Richard be penalized because he only makes X bikes per year? If he
designs an "Hour Record" frame and markets it as a product, I say it's a
production bike no matter how many he makes, even if his design allows for a bit
of change between builds.

Of course, the flip side of that coin is that NAHBS should allow Chinese
companies which are not fully automated to show bikes, as long as they actually
bring some or all of the people who do the building, ATMO.
