I'll add that time and an associated increased cost could be major factors. From the perspective of "older" to "newer", there is the Appaloosa ($1300) to the Hillborne ($1400) to the latest Hilsen ($1500). I know the Cheviot could be considered an outlier in that logic, and in several ways, but it does seem to me that the prices are increasing, at least to some degree, just based on time and costs.
That said, I would love to know about tubing changes or specs that add to the cost, not that there is anything wrong that I know of with the older tubing. I have a new Hilsen frame coming this next week so it will be interesting to see (and ride once I get it built and the weather cooperates) how it feels compared to other bikes.
