Based on the fact that their warehouse and office is hidden within Whistler’s Function Junction, it’s safe to assume that Chromag is a North Shore brand through and through. Because of that, you might not expect to see a fat bike from Chromag, but that’s exactly what we have with the Nice Dreams. Looking at the bike though, it’s clear that this is a fat bike with plenty of influence from the shore.
What started as a prototype frame after getting their hands on an early sample of a RockShox Bluto suspension fork, eventually turned into the production bike you see here. After enough desire was expressed both within the company and from potential customers, the first 10 Nice Dreams frames were made…
One of the few fat bike frames currently based on the 120mm travel Bluto, the frame will also be optimized for Chromag’s upcoming Tomahawk rigid fork. Why a fat bike from a company based in Whistler? According to Chromag, the ability to ride trails in all of their varying weather conditions was one of their bigger motivations. After testing the bike through the full Whistler Spring and Summer, Chromag has given Nice Dreams their stamp of approval.
Welded and finished in Whistler, B.C., the steel frames are available in your choice of color (Chromag says any color, with the possibility for up charges depending on how wild you get). With frames starting at $1550, complete build packages are available, contact Chromag for pricing.
