There are three levels of Brompton specification to choose from:
E: The basic specification, with no rear carrier, pump or mudguards.
L: Lightweight - with mudguards and a pump, but no carrier.
R: Stands for rack - with mudguards, pump and rear carrier.
The mudguards are almost essential I think - the rear carrier less so. It’s good for fitting extra luggage on, in addition to the front pannier, and it makes the folded package more stable - but it does add weight.
If you order a Superlight Titanium bike, no matter what the specification, you don’t get a pump- sorry ;-)
