If William's statement is true, and I imagine that it is, it's mainly because Bleriots had such a low price to begin with AND that the pricing on its replacement has taken such a jump. It's too bad that RBW couldn't have maintained the Bleriot and its pricing for longer. (We've all read GPs reasons for pulling it, I'm sure.)
