Jim,
This is all I'll say on this subject, because it's obvious no one here
sees my point (and that's ok, I guess). But, on the point of the
Hilson and Hillborne being the same...Here it is from the man himself
"Should I get an A. Homer Hilsen or a Sam Hillborne?
They’re functionally identical. Good for the same things, great for
the same things, workable for the same things. They take the
same tires and fenders, and are designed to be functional clones;
so if you’re torn---as many people seem to be---that’s
understandable. The following is intended to help, but no
guarantees."

So, they are the same bike...just one had more prestige, just like
electronic Dura Ace.
