Hi happy valley, fun times, nothing like bike shopping! Your're at a nice price point there and should be able to find something that meets your spec. I believe Felt makes some road bikes (F series) with a slightly more agressive geometry that may prove beneficial in sprints. Although, I've ridden my road bike in sprints, which has very traditional geometry, with no real issues. To help folks with just these types of searches we've begun to compile a list of links to the major bike companies, as well as some review sites. If you think we are missing some good ones, please let us know. You can find the page from the Bike tab on our site - see sig. Have fun!
