I searched but couldn’t find anything about the Specialized Crossroads bike I recently acquired. I’m hoping some of the regular contributors here can fill me in on the age and any other general information about this bike.

A quick guess would be 94.

Does it say anything else on the decals? S had the Crossroads Cruz, Sport, and CX models

To get a better idea, upload pictures from the drive side to identify components and close ups of the seat tube decal and fork decal to identify tubing used.

Knowing the model and year is important on these as frame spec varied widely from chromoly-seat-tube-only to full-chromoly-double-butted.

The photos and decal details can help identify the year and tubing details. Look for date stamps on original components. I'm guessing its a Cruz

Looks like a 92 Crossroads. Basic steel bike with hi-ten fork and low end components. It's debatable (and a dull one) whether old low end is better than modern low end. My opinion is yes, depending.

The ride quality and durability of steel frames make these sought after for conversions and commuters in North America. Availability and cost are big factors in this. Its similar to the Trek Multitracks in many ways.

I love that '90s "Chain Disc", with the pixely font type! This can be a great bike. I have a similar Trek MultiTrack. Very fun machines to ride.
