Cool concept but like nuggs said. I'm not sure anyone will use them. Sick bike though. I've thought about trying one out. They're local to me. Pretty good bunch of guys. And the custom options from the factory is pretty rad.

yeah, cool idea for the people that can do it, but most people just set it and forget it
I would bet that 90% of adjustments on frames go completely untouched after a month or so of novelty n probably better then 80% never get touched at all.

I bet half of the 80% don't even know their bike has geo adjustments.
I wonder how many people will make use of the alternative shock and rear end set ups that are available with this frame.
I doubt that anyone is buying all the parts to make the swap between rides. However I think IF you had bought the bike in an enduro set-up because you lived someplace with steep gnarly terrain... but then had to move to a place with more flow / xc trail type riding (or vice versa), you could then buy the parts to make the swaps. Which would save you from having to buy another bike. It's a cool option even though most buyers will never make use of it.

The biggest reason GG did this is so they can cut down on the number of standard parts they need to manufacture and stock. This allows them to run more sustainably. What would happen if they designed a line of 4 bikes that all used different front triangles, made 50 of each in each size, then went to market with them. If one of the models is not popular, but one model is more popular than the number of bikes they made, they are kind of SOL and stuck with a bunch of unsold bikes. the current business model is designed to prevent that from happening.
to me it seems to be less for the consumer than people are making it out to be.
