So why would you remake it?
Maybe so you don't have to throw away brakes, wheels, shifters, mudguards, half the frame and a fork.

I guess that Kinetics, Eerder et al have bargained on/done the research and know most of their sales are to people who have bought a stock bike and are looking to upgrade as opposed to to people who are fresh to the world of Bromptons and want an off-road capable and/or disc brake bike straight off the bat.

The amount of design time in a Brompton is several, several many times that in any other bike though and largely it is as optimised as it can be. The adaptions are there for the bits that matter, the bits that remain the same do so because there’s not much/nothing to be gained. Like, from the rear pivot to the headtube, what do you need to improve? So why would you remake it?
