There are a lot of great reasons to pick up frame building, but I can almost guarantee that you'll be able to find a good and inexpensive bike suitable for sprints for less then you are likely to invest. That isn't to dissuade you from frame building, but trying to get a cheap and racable bike in the first crack is usually an eye opening experience.
