Seems like Gwin / Intense rumors are true. Between the clip that was posted with Stebber talking and Gwin’s interview with Downtime Podcast, it seems his team is looking. I was hearing some remorse from Gwin in not ever having the chance to put the new M1 to the ultimate test. 
 

The stuff about Dak leaving or not, it seems like Gwin personally help fulfill the costs of Dak joining the program. Pending what frame sponsorship looks like for IFR or whatever the I becomes, I think Dak will leave or stay. I think the funding for him would be there. It didn’t sound like Gwin would want to part ways if it were up to him. 
 

Dak and Martin’s relationship and Martin and Neko’s relationship and all of their proximity, I think that could be possible for Frameworks / Dak union, if the other pieces could cover the costs. 
 

I really think a Frameworks Factory Racing with Gwin Dak Neko and Harrison would be amazing for US DH but that is high hoping!!

I wouldn't read too much into that, it's normal for athletes to sell off their bikes at the end of the season. It's a good way for them to bump up their salary and bike build videos at the beginning of the new season are great for pluging sponsors on their socials.

About the Syndicate. Who is Greg's new mechanic? When he moved away from Lyle, did he just take a teammate's mechanic? Is Lyle nolonger with Syndicate? Old news, but I never heard how it was finally resolved.

Tom Duncan is in the more recent Santa Cruz videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6vJ8B-hBxM).

Tom was Peaty's mechanic for a few years & then went to GT, followed by Cannonade when they did that strange test season for a few years, but I'm pretty sure he's happy with his normal job from now on.

Louise Ferguson selling bikes off on the local Queenstown MTB page - Moving on from Nukeproof / more fuel to the fire given the current financial situation?

Yeah. I can’t remember which podcast it was on (maybe Making up the numbers?), but they implied that she would have a ride but not on a factory World Cup race team because she has a lot of interests outside of just racing downhill (freeride, crankworx, etc).

Lyle said in a video this year that he has a different role within the Syndicate and only jumped in temporary as Greg's mechanic again at the beginning of the year.

If I were Neko (and Martin if he's pulling the strings behind the scene), I would not sign Angel.  If we're looking at results, Neko would be better to sign Charlie, Dak or Pinky.  Plus, unless it changes soon, Frameworks sells only to North America right now correct?  I feel it would be beneficial in the first few years to pump the American aspect of the team as much as possible.  That's just me though.

Neko said they'd sell outside of NA if someone really wants a frame but they're not set up for it so there are a bunch of caveats; import/VAT is on you, longer ship times for parts etc.

When I was listening to the making the numbers podcast I was wondering who Martin could be referring to - now that I read it makes perfect sense.

they have been working together on the YT mob for a long time and Martin always speaks highly of Angel. Plus both living in Spain. I’d say 90% you’re correct there

A rhombohedron? It sounds like that's the (special) case.
