Inside all of us is an urge to break away from the doldrums of monotonous everyday life. No matter how hard we work to suppress that urge, sometimes we can't fight it. Sometimes we have to feed that urge to unplug, clip in, and create our own adventure. What's holding you back? Call out sick on Friday, load up the frame packs, and get lost on the ride in that search for the perfect spot to tie up your hammock. You may find yourself rattling over dusty two track straight through the night. You may find a dirt road that you've always wanted to ride down, but you never had the time, or energy, or equipment to make it worthwhile. This is your chance to break free!Find your own adventure on the all new Marquette Carbon Adventure bike.

The Marquette Carbon Adventure utilizes the latest SRAM 1x11 technology from both the mountain and road side to deliver the optimum in gear range, precision, and durability.

With shorter tubing the recon delivers weight savings which come in handy on those 500+ mile rides.
When I saw this bike in September at the Framed Bikes Booth out at the Minnesota State Fair I was skeptical at how they could be selling this setup for such a low price. They explained how they operate and run a lean ship and their direct to consumer channel cuts out the middleman passing the savings to the consumer. I went to the House showroom and actually rented one for a day and was hooked. They even applied the rental price to the cost of the bike! I was looking at buying a Salsa Cutthroat after reviewing the geometry they are nearly identical and the build is nearly identical as well except the Cutthroat is $1,500.00 more…Plain and simple this bike rips and I could not be happier with the quality and the service I received from The-House, You guys rock!
Picked this bike up from The House at their show room in St. Paul this summer and I feel bad for my other bikes as they have not seen any action since. I have been riding more places than I ever was before on my road bike and seem to actually seek out dirt roads and paths that I would have sneered at in the past with my road bike. Geometry is awesome for long rides and handles even some light single track riding like a champ! Planning to buy a set of 27.5+ Wheels and seeing how this thing rides with some chubbies on it! Will update my review when I do. Thanks FRAMED!
