That looks sweet. I do hills all the time too. It is tough to tell if the Crossroads has the same upright position that the Roll and the Verve has. Thanks for link. Disc brakes are not a deal breaker.
I think I will call Specialized and talk to them about the two models. I am not sure that my local LBS has a Crossroad in stock though. Will have to check. Thanks again....
