Chromag makes great product and has an awesome brand & culture. I really appreciate how much stuff they make domestically and support them with my purchasing decisions whenever it makes sense. I also appreciate they sell what they ride as much as the short stays aren’t for me.
That said, in my experiences they’re a production frame company and aren’t aligned with the kind of semi-custom work that folks like us - on the outside looking in - may think would be easy value-added options (even at an upcharge) on their small batch domestically made frames.
I mean, technically Rocky Mountain has the expertise and manufacturing and paint capabilities to create custom length rear ends for their FS bikes but I wouldn’t expect them to offer the service.
