Frame weights on Transition's website include the shock, IIRC, while GG's frame weights don't, so take that into consideration. Still, they're claiming 29 lbs for the mid-level Megatrail build which is damn impressive.
This is definitely pretty rad. It also mentions that because of the higher temp process they can powder coat these instead of painting which is sweet.
I don't think any one is going to be rearranging their bike on a daily basis, but I could see the swappable rear triangles being a nice feature in certain circumstances. Say, if you buy a Megatrail then move somewhere where it makes more sense to have a 120 mm 29er as your DD. You could buy the kit and still have the Megatrail for trips, etc.
