As Carleton says, the Sprint has modern track geometry with steep HTA and STA, short chainstays and wheelbase, high BB, 35mm fork offset (L and XL), which with the 74.5° HTA (L size) and 700 x 25c tires renders a trail of 58mm. I have long legs and a short torso, so the 56cm top tube on the large size (60.5cm c-t seat tube) would be a good fit for me.

Yes, it's built in Asia and TIG'd, but it's an 853 frame with decent components for less than $1K.

I'm tempted, but was looking for feedback from someone who has one.
