This seems like a very dicey way to settle a dispute. Here's my opinion.

If Evan, after finding out about the extra work required, asked to
cancel the exchange within ~30 days and before seriously riding the
frame, I'd side with him.

But since Evan had it for "a few months" and rode the frame
"~200miles", I'm inclined to side with Dan.

Still, its a little grey and $100 is *fairly* small.

I vote for "do whatever results in fewest hard feelings": Split it
$50/$50. Evan eats $50 of the cost. Dan gives $50 to Evan. Seems
the best way to get past any bad feelings.
