Sure, most of the parts are standard size. The weight savings with
aluminum won't be staggering, maybe a pound, but losing the suspension
will definitely lower weight as would a switch to a rigid fork if it's
road going. MTB tires can add a pound of unnecessary weight each if
you're not cycling in real off road conditions.
