Recommendations on my build
 
Hey guys!! New to the forum so I am not sure if this in right category. I traded a coworker of mine concert tickets for an old hybrid he had in the shop collecting dust. It is a specialized crossroad I believe from early 90's maybe late 80' not too sure. I originally took the bike just to ride around town for exercise. But, since I got it last year I have got more into riding further and further lol. Now I think I want to start using it to commute to work. The bike is in decent shape but definitely needs some work ( tires, wheels, gear issues etc.) After doing some research I see all the cool things people are doing to these older bikes. So, I want to start to rebuild this thing with modern components and bring it back to life! I have an idea of what I want it to look like ( spray.bike paint :D) and the accessories I want to get for it. What Im really look for is recommendations on is the mechanics (tires +wheels, drivetrain, etc.). Ill be doing all the work myself and look forward to sharing pictures of the process.

Assuming all drivetrain is worn out or corroded, good time to upgrade to 1x11 or 12.
