Overview

More of What Matters.

The Skeeter track bike frame is constructed from Columbus Zona steel tubing which delivers renowned strength and extended fatigue life. This lightweight construction makes it perfect for both urban track riding and velodrome competition.

With a 72.5° head tube angle, you get stable handling on the flats and predictable control when accelerating or cornering. The horizontal top tube provides classic fixed gear aesthetics. The geometry combines responsiveness with precise steering for both competition and daily commuting.

The Skeeter accommodates clearance for up to 30c tires, providing riders with options for various track or street setups.

Built with a standard 68mm threaded bottom bracket shell, the Skeeter works with traditional and modern cranksets. The frame uses track-spec dropouts for rear hub compatibility with both fixed gear and freewheel options via flip flop hub configurations.

The Skeeter is built in Macon, Georgia, at Thomson's headquarters, from Columbus Zona steel tubing chosen for its strength and long fatigue life.
