Padrino (www.padrinorb.com) is a sinatra-based 'rails without the bloat' framework.
It provides generators, basic helpers (link_to etc.) and, most importantly, it gives project a sane structure. Oh, and it does not tie you to any fixed set of components. Using Padrino and Sequel is a bliss!
But your app remains a sinatra app, small and elegant. Also, the documentation is excellent.
