The Geertsen
So, there I was. High school. A tempest of testosterone and Umbro's. Leaning against the baseball dugout, smelling faintly of cheap leather and defiance...Ryan Geertsen. AKA Geerty. A boy now turned man, who would later propel himself face-first down an icy Park City track over 80 miles an hour, chasing Olympic skeleton glory. The same man who climbs sheer granite faces with the ease of Alex Honnold. Shreds mountain bike singletrack with ease. And somehow managed to seduce women twice his caliber. All while speaking perfect Russian.
Fast forward. The calendar reads two thousand and twenty-five. A later-in-life plot twist. At 46, he marries a woman. Her name, Summer. A woman so spectacular she is, by all objective metrics, entirely out of his league. And now? Well now it's the ultimate test of endurance. A brand new baby girl on the way.
Geerty required a frame that could survive the G-forces of his trusty old Mazda Miata, the grit of the Whole Enchilada, and the sudden, terrifying onset of diaper duty.
He needed The Geertsen.
Behold: an architectural marvel for the face. The eighth wonder of the optical world. We took a high-strength carbon fiber core—the kind of tech that handles the biggest berms— and layered it with the rugged, yet sophisticated warmth of natural ebony and walnut woods. Go ahead. Inhale deeply, if you dare. You can practically taste the pine needles, the chain lube, and Geerty's handsome, stoic musk.
And that aviator double-bridge design doesn’t just ask for compliments; it demands them. Spring hinges ensure they stay firmly attached to your cranium, whether you're sending 'the Spine' on the Crest, or pacing the nursery at three o'clock in the morning.
Uncompromising strength. Absolute loyalty. Da. Out of your league? Perhaps. But with these on, they’ll never know.
