Premise: You are not familiar with ruby. My suggestion is that use RoR instead of Sinatra because Sinatra is extremely minimal (hence you will have to make lots of decisions initially). But if you go the RoR route, you would understand the usual way of ruby coding. Then, once comfortable (which would take atleast 6 months), you can shift to sinatra (if you still feel the need).
