드디어, 바라고 또 바라던 미니벨로의 업그레이드에 성공했다.
전학기 성적 우수로 장학금을 받게 되어서, 그 중 일부로 Dahon(다혼)사의 Smooth Hound(스무스 하운드)를 중고로 손에 넣게 되었다.

전에 타던 아팔란치아 R7과는 확실히 다른 모습과 성능을 지니고 있다. 마치 차로 비유하자면, 소형차를 타다가 고급 중형차를 타는 느낌이랄까... 특히 가죽으로 된 브룩스 안장과 바테입이 클래식한 느낌을 더해준다.

안장이 가죽이다보니 길이 들 때까지 좀 아플거란다. 사실... 어제 두세시간 탔더니... 아프다... ㅜㅜ

실사는 차차 찍어 올리기로 하고, 아래는 스펙...
