No more 3-speed Brompton C-Lines in 2023

Thanks for that.

I did consider the bikegang version in the past. One thing that is weird is that they say it's 'plug and play' but then also have this warning.

Please note that the conversion will require re-dishing the rear wheel. Please ensure that you are comfortable with this task or your local bike shops offer this service.

Bad news for British Brompton buyers: For 2023 Brompton once more cleaned up their portfolio: The 3-speed S/A is now gone from the regular C-line portfolio, the "C-line utility" is no more. If you want a 3 speed hub you now have to go for the low end A-line model.
A bit of a strange decision as the 3-speed has been very popular in the UK (whereas in most other countries the 6-speed seems to be the most popular solution).

I missed this the first time around.

So it's not a decision to do away with it entirely, just in the UK?

No, it is universal. Just that in the UK the 3speed seems to be more popular than in other countries.

Gotcha.
