So, how long before an official announcement about move to Specialized (assuming that’s the path)? Maybe he’s still technically with Santa Cruz for a couple more weeks? Would be kind of pointless/awkward to announce a move to specialized while still obligated to ride a santa cruz until next year. ---

His IG has been unusually devoid of any shots with the bike, so he may as ready be on a new whip. ---

With all the discussions around slack vs non-slack gravel bikes, it’d be interesting to hear Keegan’s take on racing a Crux vs Stigmata, if the rumors are true. ---

I do believe he is going to Specialized, but selling the bikes isn’t confirmation of that. These guys all get new bikes and then sell them every year regardless. ---

I can’t remember seeing a HTSQD bike for sale ever. I could be wrong but I’d like to think these forums would post the opportunity to buy one. ---

Keegan basically just gave his goodbye to Santa Cruz on IG. Setting up the January 1 announcement is my guess. And - htSQD is no more per Tobin’s latest post, looks like he’s staying with Santa Cruz. ---

Santa Cruz mentioned in a post yesterday that the HTSQD has disbanded. I’m surprised that Keegan’s Leadville winning MTB didn’t go for any more (maybe less) than that standard bike would be new? Part of me feels like there would be some sort of mild premium that a prestigious race winning bike like that might command.. ---

I’m not convinced that either of these are Keegan’s bikes unless they slapped random parts on his frames. ---

> [@Trix8806](#): > > Part of me feels like there would be some sort of mild premium that a prestigious race winning bike like that might command.. I’d say they got a decent premium on that bike compared to an average joe selling the same used bike (particularly if it doesn’t come with a warranty). And if someone really wanted the actual “leadville winning bike” as a piece of history, that bike is not the complete bike that won (different bars, wheels, tires, chainring, seat post, etc.). Still looks like a great bike, but I don’t know why anyone would pay a premium just because Keegan used the frame and some of the components. Reminds me of this - ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/b/4/b4195eadec9c9c1c187bab5bf3d8b0c3ab4db0a1.jpeg) Years ago, you could pick up used pro team bikes for cheap. Now, the teams seems to have figured out that there are fan boys/girls willing to pay a premium for bikes that were used by a pro. I remember when Radio Shack was riding Trek (our local trek shop was a hub for them), you could pick up a lightly used bike (complete except wheels) for around $1k. I almost bought Andreas Kloden’s bike as a backup bike just because it was so cheap. That was almost 15 years ago now, but I think those bikes were still over $5k when new, so it was a crazy good deal. I’ve got a teammate who bought a used EF bike a couple years ago, it wasn’t a great deal but wasn’t a huge premium either. Maybe a little more than buying a nice used one without team ties.
