The 3 Sportses I've owned felt in comparison to the (2) Sprites and (1) Collegiate as if they had:
1. Too low a Q 2. Too short a top tube (or too little reach to bar) I felt while riding them I was too much "on top" of the bike instead of "in" it, a sensation I didn't have with the others, but similar to the feeling with the Indian rod brake roadsters. The Sprites I owned didn't feel like this, nor did the Collegiate. Is it true that the Sprite frame was the same as the Sports frame? They certainly didn't feel so to me.
