Thanks for the replies. The Sprint CF does seem to be a new model on BD. I have done a lot of work on my current bikes and I also bought a track frame on line and built that up so I am confident sizing a bike myself based on geometry charts and comfortable doing the assembly that would be needed from BD. I will probably look around CL and Ebay for a used deal for a while since I'm in no hurry. I am going to buy my wife a starter road bike and I'll probably use her as a guinea pig for BD and get one for her there and see how it goes
