Does riding the Bleriot bring anxiety about the accident? You could be holding tension in the body in anticipation of an event. The other bikes don't have that history, so maybe you are more released when riding them?
Not saying this is the case, but if all other mechanical factors check out, check-in with your body when riding and see if you can identify areas of held tension. Pay particular attention that there should be no tension in the neck - tension held here can manifest as pain in shoulders, back, lower back etc. Just my 2c.
