Here are the prices from the Holiday Flyer: B.17 standard black with steel rails and frame: 11-055
B.17 womens, honey brown with black steel rails and frame: 11-058 $70 B.17 honey brown with copper rails and frame: 11-006 $95 B.17 honey brown with Ti rails and frame: 11-046 $150 Granted this was 8 years ago, but a >50% price increase in that time seems like a lot. And at the time you could get a B17 from another source for much less. I paid $55 in 2007 from a local retailer.
