Looks like a 92 Crossroads. Basic steel bike with hi-ten fork and low end components. It's debatable (and a dull one) whether old low end is better than modern low end. My opinion is yes, depending.

The ride quality and durability of steel frames make these sought after for conversions and commuters in North America. Availability and cost are big factors in this. Its similar to the Trek Multitracks in many ways.
