Since I stopped riding flatland competitively a few years ago I've been into more hybrid-style setups.
Always fancied a 20" Fit Benny L frame, so when the V2 went on sale after Ben and Fit parted ways I had to snap one up.

Frame: Fit Benny L V2
Forks: Primo Strand V3
Stem: Odyssey TDFL 45mm
Bars: Colony Hardy
Grips: Odyssey Flatware
Seat: Fit Solo Tripod
Cranks: Primo Churchill 160mm
Sprocket: Federal BBS Spline Drive
Pedals: Animal Hamilton
Front Hub: Proper
Front Rim: Primo Balance
Rear Hub: KHE Geisha Light
Rear Rim: GSport Birdcage
Tyres: WTP Feelin 1.9"
Pegs: Tree Balsa

That looks super good. How do you like the 45mm reach stem? I'm assuming since you came from flatland it's not too much of a reach for you (no pun intended).

I been riding 28-35mm stems for most of my life but so far 45mm feels good.
I think it's more of psychological thing to be honest.

Very nice. I thought about building a Benny L before my Stranger... the price a few months back was insane.

Reaching out a little with a longer stem (again, no pun intended). Looks super good, how are you liking the clutch V2?

Yeah, fancied a top load for a change.

The Clutch V2 is the best freecoaster I’ve ever used. One minor complaint would be that after you slam hard when you go to pedal forward you can feel a little click as it engages. It’s not a big issue at all but I just worry that it’s the inner axle/bearings moving around slightly, could prove problematic in the long run. That aside it’s flawless.
