Chromag Background Information

We love to develop things ourselves. That's how we started, by making the frames and parts that we always wanted to have. It begins with our personal use and extends to the community in one of the best testing environments in the world, here in the rugged Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada.

Ian Ritz, Chromag Founder

Chromag - how the production of beloved bicycle components began

Chromag was founded by Ian Ritz, who was able to amass tons of bicycle industry knowledge from his legendary “Evolution” bike shop in Whistler. However, he didn’t just want to see parts, instead he wanted to build bicycle frames and components based on his own concepts. His first project was a hardtail frame, that friends and acquaintances loved so much that in 2003 he launched Chromag. Ian’s passion and his team’s attention to detail are the reason why Chromag has become a cult brand in the bicycle world.

Where are Chromag bikes and components made?

The quality brand’s headquarters is located in the most beautiful bike paradise: the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. It offers a unique testing area, that can be seen in the functionality and durability of the saddles, handlebars, stems and other bike parts. Additionally, Ian can confidently say that his team is made up of absolute bike enthusiasts. I mean let’s be real, who can withstand those trails?

Individuality and creativity come first at Chromag
