All right, well first off I have had this frame for about 1 full year. Thus far it has treated me amazing.
I ride Big dirt jumps (the kind where the jumps are taller than you) and all street other than pegs. So for grinds I can not give you a true evaluation of how this frame would do, but I do know that allot of the sputnic team are serious street riders so that’s gotta' tell you something.

For $259 it doesn't get any better than this. This is an AMAZING price for this frame. Similar frames of this quality are in the $300's

The paint is very "cool" You can't see it in the pics but in the sun it has a bit of a gold flake, it is very subtle but there, (At least with reddish orange anyways) the paints durability is average, not amazing, but not bad either. So nothing to whine about, but no brownie points either...It comes in black, Light blue, and Fire Orange, so some pretty cool color options IMO.

The geometry of this frame is GREAT. It is just right for me and I have never heard anyone complain about it either. So if you are looking for an all around good geometry this should be a contender.

The dropouts are a bit small for my taste. they are meant for you to run a slammed rear axle I’m pretty sure, but since I run the best gearing available (25-10) and it's not "technically correct" I have to run my rear axle a bit further back than I would like to...not even a half link chain can get it right, so yah.......basically what I am saying is these dropouts are SMALL. Which makes them much better for street, because they are much harder to bend.

The welds all around are pure sex. They have no flaws... whoever welds them must be a god.

it's pretty light for a frame that doesn't have any weird weight saving tricks (4 Pounds 12.8 ounces for a 21 inch top tube) Mainly because of the attention to detail and quality of materials, they can get away with smaller and thinner tubing.

Pros:
-Very light
-Great Geometry
-Cool Colors
-Good Welds

Cons
-SMALL dropouts, But since they are harder to bend and would probably be perfect for correct gearing I’m not going to deduct the overall score because of them.
-The warranty could be better... It comes with a 90 day warranty for any damage that hinders the ability of this frame to perform. But after that you’re on your own. Yet again however, I will not deduct the overall score because the warranty does not affect how this frame rides.

OVERALL SCORE:
10/10
I have no complaints.
