Old-school touring bikes are a pain in the neck to get to and from your next tour. In contrast, the Smooth Hound packs flat in seconds and slips easily into a shoulder bag for short carries or stashing at night. For longer trips, fifteen minutes is all it takes to pack it into an airline legal Airporter Mini. The Smooth Hound has all the features needed for comfortable, convenient touring: a tall head tube for sitting upright on long hours in the saddle; BioLogic™ handlebars; luggage racks are set closer to the ground for improved load stability; and a hand-made Brooks Champion leather saddle in a custom antique brown color. 
- Packs into its own suitcase for travel anywhere in the world.
- Versatile design is fast on the road but also suitable for off the beaten track exploring.
- Beautiful hand-made Brooks leather saddle in a custom antique brown color.
- Always ready for flats: comes with a large volume pump hidden inside the seatpost.
- Custom BioLogic™ handlebar offers multiple hand positions and excellent comfort.

"The bike is a healthy mix between dorky-looking fold up bikes and Italian road bikes. The result is easy on the eyes and does it part for global warming, less crowded city streets and just maybe some exercise."
