“One of the Best!!!”
Written on: 07/06/2018 by crazylegs1326 (1 review written)
I bought this Crossroads XC Expert in 2006. I've put at least 15000 miles on it since then, mostly hard pack bike trails and roads. Have had routine maintenance once a year in the spring. Nothing has gone wrong with this bike, changed the brake pads and chain once. Paid $770, best money I've ever spent on a bike hands down. I doubt if I'll ever buy a better bike for the money! Very stiff, great front suspension, and very comfortable upright geometry… Read Full Review

“Turned off by Specialized”
Written on: 02/11/2016 by don0017 (1 review written)
Recently just got the bike (one for me and the step-through for my wife); Ordered a 2017 Crossroads, but instead was given 2016 models. 2017 are listed to come with presta valves, and 2016 are with schrader valves. No biggie on the valves, bike shop I got it from is a "no return" policy. Front derailleur wasn't tuned properly (another no biggie). Top tube is pretty high up, if you are on the low end of their recommended size based on your height, expect to feel that top tube touching more than… Read Full Review

“Save Your Receipt...”
Written on: 10/10/2015
Specialized has a lifetime frame warranty, provided you can prove you are the original owner. After 21 years and over 15,000 miles my beloved 1994 vintage Crossroads had its bottom bracket weld snap. As far as catastrophic frame failures go, it was minor - I was even able to ooze the last mile to my destination. Still, I was in the market for a new bike when a dealer informed me that the warranty might still be good. I managed to find the original owners manual with date of purchase, and a… Read Full Review

I have a 3 year old crossroads. took an hiatus from biking, so it was on the back porch here in the philippines for about 9 months. Other than a chain whose pins were tight (was able to save the chain though) and a need for derailleur adjustment, the bike works swimmingly. Glad to see that specialized backed the product you had.

“review update”
Written on: 15/05/2015
I have now had my bicycle for just about 6 months. It has become the most frequently ridden bicycle since my childhood. The one minor quibble i have had was regarding spoes breaking or loosening up, when i brought it in for a tuneup they trued the wheel and tightened up my spokes for me, I have now developed a habit that involves taking my bicycle in for service primarily to tighten my spokes. Most other things on the bicycle are functioning very well. derailleurs shift smoothly, the ride is… Read Full Review

“a great bike for well paced rides”
Written on: 24/10/2014 by walkman2015 (1 review written)
I have only had mine for a week but in a short period of time i have quite pleased with this bicycle's performance. My previous bicycle was a trek pure 7 speed cruiser one of most comfortable bicycles i have ever ridden. But the limitations of a seven speed became evident in my weekly group rides. This was not a racers club but riders that maintained a moderate pace that my pure was not geared for. I bought this bike not to be a racer, but to enable me to stay with the group. I am happy to… Read Full Review

“Light,Comfortable well made”
Written on: 01/01/2014 by pjryan51 (1 review written)
I bought my Specialized Crossroad Comfort in October 2012 and it has been the best bike I have owned. I was mainly looking for a bike for my regular commute on mix of roads and canal paths. I love the more upright position of this bike and even though it does lack disc brakes it does feel like the money has been spent on the areas that matter. I was particularly looking for a 7 speed bike as I feel bikes with two set of gears are heavier and I never use most of them. The range of the gears… Read Full Review

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 Full Review

“fantastic commuter bike!”
Written on: 27/10/2012 by bmw e30 (1 review written)
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… Read Full Review

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.

Written on: 27/10/2010
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 Full Review

Written on: 18/07/2010
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 Full Review

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 Full Review

Written on: 27/05/2009
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… Read Full Review

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 Full Review

you would reasonably think that a negative experience like that would foster some in depth reasoning behind the negative comments expressed. gears were bad, bike was heavy maybe the info was a little too specific for me

makes it sound as if the seller was buying old stock from some source
