Brompton Bicycle Type L2000
This is the simpler and lighter of the two types. Although it is without a rear carrier, the optional front carrier system, if fitted, can take care of most day to day needs in this respect. For riding after dark, battery lights can be fitted, but these will normally need to be detached if the bicycle is to be folded. The type L is for those who expect to use the Brompton mainly by day, or for whom weight saving is of particular importance. The type L is painted red and black.

The Traveller
This is equipped with a rear carrier and a dynamo lighting system. These do not affect folding or the folded size, but they add some 10% to the weight. It is a great convenience to have carrier and lights permanently to hand on the bicycle, and the type T is recommended for those who regularly need these.
