I got to use several ones for brief moments at a time. It has a high BB when used with a 4-5 inch fork thereby easy to manual or wheelie, it will suck if you want to go for the bunnyhop world record. The small is better than the medium just because.

i used to have this frame, set up was with a 5inch fork.. its great for free ride use but if you want a dj or urban set up try using 3-4 inch fork.. forgot the specs but the chainstay is short while the top tube is quite long.. its a good frame its up to you how you set it up

Chi I believe the sputnik's chainstays are long @ 16.52" * (420mm), though they appear short because of the slacky seattube angle. IMHO they are quite long but needed on this particular frame. Its actually best of both worlds, stable on the rear wheel and long stays for jhops.
* Less than the XLR8R @ 16.75"(425mm)
