Bikecheck: Benjamin Martignoni's Partymaster V2

Have a look at this Partymaster V2 built exclusively for the streets with 24" wheels, 3 pegs and a rigid fork. Straight out of France, Benjamin Martignoni built his Partymaster V2 exactly how he wanted it and it came out tight! Keep on reading for more photos and all the specs about his build.

I had been dreaming about this frame for a long time and I’m really happy with it.

Super easy to ride, responsive and stable, with plenty of room for barspins and a great look overall. I installed an Identity XL fork to keep the same geo I had with the Pike, but in an indestructible version (except for the wrists). I went with ODI Longnecks — no complaints, you can’t beat them. The NS District bars were cut down to 720mm and have the perfect rise. The Animal Cush seat is a street classic from my youth, rough on the thighs but super solid and stylish. The Salt parts are solid for peripheral components. I stuck with Foundation, who make great cranks (even though mine are a bit short), and of course, I’m running a freecoaster! Can’t be bothered with rollbacks, fakies for life! It’s built in 24” (for more responsiveness and stiffness), with Odyssey Hazard rims and WTP hubs, wrapped up with long and slim BSD pegs. Aside from the frame, bars, and fork, it’s fully built with BMX parts and 100% steel, plastic doesn’t belong on a street setup, it melts and doesn’t go on a proper bike !
