Specialized Crossroads Pro ?
So google comes up empty for me and the Specialized site is useless so I'm thinking there has to be someone here that knows about this version. 
Judging from the finish work on the welds and the components I suspect that this was a fairly pricey model. The pix tell the tale. The only thing I know of changed on the bike is the crankset cos I did that but it was a 3x9 to start with. It had a Suntour Superbe road triple on it that is geared way too big for what I will use the bike. I'd be interested to know about how old it is, maybe a rough estimate of the original price. The fork is also a mystery on the 'net so any info on that would be cool - and whatever that boss on the left slider is for?
Anyway, many thanks for any assist
be safe

I'd place those parts right at '00. 99 and 00 had a Crossroads Pro, but the welds are nowhere what you have. Front derailleur is also not original. Around 98-99 was when S collaborated much with Ritchey, those rims are not common in 700c.
FWIW I have seen an S-Works Tange Prestige Crossroads that also don't appear in any literature.

Crossroads Pro via Bike Pedia (click this link)
Yea, as per BikePedia, the msrp was over $1000. But not sure if that was correct, seems a little high for this bike 20 years ago.
OH and yea, I would have replaced that crankset too! Sheesh, a 30/42/52 crankset....

)
