Our take
This 2008 Dahon Smooth Hound is an intriguing folding bike, especially with the Ritchey Breakaway system. The 16 speeds and derailleur gears offer good versatility for various terrains, while the 20-inch wheels make it compact when folded. The aluminum frame keeps the weight down. At $900.00, it's a substantial investment for a folding bike from 2008, so you'd be paying for the specific Dahon/Ritchey combination and the convenience of a travel-friendly minivelo.
