Seems there was a smithing revamp in 2002 that altered trivials:

10 Jun 2002


Since the most recent patch, trivials on smithing have
been dropped down significantly. Suddenly the highest trivial
on banded is 115, far below my current skill. I'm looking at
some Ornate Chain just to get up to 175 (expensive types, too,
ranging up to where spending 100 pp on a platinum bar per
attempt will be necessary) and then FS plate, which isn't going
to go much higher, the high end of -that- is 188 for the BP.
