I got mine second hand and i love it, i have tried a lot of different types of bikes, but this one is the best hybrid i've had or tried. I would recommend this to anyone looking to buy a hybrid. Works well for just going around the block or across town. (read more)

I haven't owned mine long, having bought it secondhand for just £80 on eBay I have spent about an hour greasing up the head bearings, lubing cables and adjusting the brakes. All very easy. This is going to be my winter hack, the saddle is very comfy, gears although basic shimano acera group function well. Riding position is very upright, I have a 54cm size frame which measures about 18.5 inches from centre of crank to top of top tube. Fits my 5'8 height perfectly. Forks are steel, black in...

Have owned my Crossroads Elite for 3 years, logged over 9,200 km (5,400 miles)and it's still like new. Absolutely a great bike, great components, trouble free and a pleasure to ride and care for. The Elite upgrade package including. Armadillo tires are money well spent. I only regret not discovering Specialized years earlier. (read more)

Had the bike for about twelve years (where has the time gone?) and find it a joy to ride. Only problem is, a bit difficult to adjust the gears which sometimes slip. Blame myself for it, though as I fell off it a few days after I got it - sober as a judge but just getting used to a bike again. Like it so much, just bought a second identical one on ebay for my partner (read more)

I love my Crossroad! Have had it for a few years & still performs like a tank and rides like a caddy. (read more)

Have a Specialized crossroads for a few years, use it mainly for commuting part off-road and some rough paths. It's a great bike and a smooth ride. I cycle through all sorts of weather no problem and it's easy to maintain. The special tyres that come as standard really do prevent punctures. (read more)

Love my Specialized Crossroads Sport. I've had it for 5 years and use it for around town commuting as well as weekend outings. It's easy to maintain and has held up very well. It definitely isn't sporty and is heavy. That makes it nice and stable and suits me fine. If you're older, wiser and looking for a reliable set of wheels, you can't do better for the price.

I have never had so many problems with a bike in my life. Do not buy this. I found the rims to be weak, the gears were bad and the bike wass just heavy. I was a comfortable ride but that doesnt make up for the other shortcomings. I would not recommend the Specialized Crossroad hybrid bike. (read more)

UPDATE!
Have used this for commuting to work this week, 4 miles each way. Very impressed with bike, tho at 27lb its not the lightest bike, but it is very bombproof! Gears being acera? are basic yet function perfectly and reliably, brakes are powerful even with brake blocks 80% worn. Tires i have fitted are Crossroads 700c x 38, a general xcommuter tire, 80-100psi rating, i run at 85psi. Roll ok and very grippy with a 'wet' tread pattern as opposed to a more slick type tire.
Overall a great bike for very little money, should last many years. Not too bumpy even being a rigid setup, seat is soft and comfortable.
