Really getting into the HT DH now, stoked on your Whistler edit man!!

wow..the light one

as far as I know most of Chromag's frames are about 3 kg, yes? . Definitely an inspiration for building modern hardcore hardtail !

jin0824 (Jun 29, 2012 at 13:14)

depends on the model, 1.8-3kg. such a nice bike to ride anything.

Thanks

Do you always ride with flat pedals ? Did you ever consider clipless, for better control in rough terrain ?

jin0824 (Jul 16, 2012 at 21:36)

I used to ride flats, switched to clips. more stable on rough trails yet sketchy for some stunts.

Looks nice! ...first I wanted a Chromag too ... but now got an Evil Sovereign...

You know if these frames are going into production?

I wouldn't mind something setup a little more aggressive than my Trl.

when am i gonna be able to get that frame, i want a back up for my sinister ridge.

jin0824 (Mar 1, 2011 at 20:45)

it's just a prototype. the model is called Gypsy and it's not in production anymore but they still make one as requested

insanitylevel9 (Mar 2, 2011 at 18:16)

sweet i may have to pick one up sooner or later. whats the head angle on yours?

jin0824 (Mar 2, 2011 at 19:15)

should be 66 or 67 but i'm not sure. you can just send everything with this set up.

insanitylevel9 (Mar 3, 2011 at 12:40)

thats the hope i have a very similar riding style to you, ive hit a 20 footer on my ridge. theres nothing more fun then a long travel hard tail with 30 inch bars, but it seems there getting harder to find.

jin0824 (Mar 4, 2011 at 3:30)

i bet it's less harsh than aluminium frames.

hey jin, i was wondering, what is Chromag's Am/ Heavy duty frame?
is this still avaliable?
how much would it run?

jin0824 (Nov 29, 2011 at 20:52)

I would say Stylus, identical to my frame, Gypsy, and is really versatile. you can always check www.chromagbikes.com

joshualovesmtb (Nov 29, 2011 at 21:45)

is there any way i can get ahold of one of these?

jin0824 (Nov 29, 2011 at 21:54)

check the contact page?

insanitylevel9 (Mar 4, 2011 at 5:44)

what is it 4130 steel? any idea on the cost of the frame and wait time for it to be built?

jin0824 (Mar 4, 2011 at 7:30)

looks like an aluminium frame but it is full steel man.
you gotta visit www.chromagbikes.com
good luck!

jonasz86 (Jun 29, 2012 at 0:57)

nice

what is the weight of the frame ? 1,5" headtube ?

jin0824 (Jun 29, 2012 at 8:52)

2.7kg, 44mm ID.

crazzybiker (Aug 20, 2010 at 17:17)
