Our take
For those seeking a dependable, older model with a bit of character, this '96 Specialized Crossroads could be a great find. The Chromoly and steel frame offers a classic ride feel known for its durability, though it contributes to the 40 lb weight. With 21 speeds and V-brakes, it's equipped for general commuting, providing solid, if not cutting-edge, performance. The 26-inch wheels are a common size for hybrid bikes of this era, offering a comfortable and stable ride. The inclusion of a kickstand is a simple but useful feature for daily use. While it lacks modern suspension, its vintage appeal and robust build make it a charming, functional commuter.
