Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Did you mean "steerer tube"?

​​​​​​The Sprint's Headtube is likely aluminum, like the rest of the Sprint frame.

If it is "steerer tube"/Fork info youre looking for, searches turn up lots of info about the frame welds on the Sprint, but clarification on the fork is harder to pin down.

A Road Bike Action 2016 review of the Sprint had this: "Specialized matches the frame with the very same fork that comes on an S-Works Tarmac."...I'd guess an S-Works Tarmac fork would have full carbon construction.

Correct!
I have a 56cm Sprint and I need as many spacers as I do on my 54cm frames.

Yep. It's why I'll never have one.
