Specialized Crossroads Pro ?
 

So google comes up empty for me and the Specialized site is useless so I'm thinking there has to be someone here that knows about this version. :thumb: Judging from the finish work on the welds and the components I suspect that this was a fairly pricey model. The pix tell the tale. The only thing I know of changed on the bike is the crankset cos I did that but it was a 3x9 to start with. It had a Suntour Superbe road triple on it that is geared way too big for what I will use the bike. I'd be interested to know about how old it is, maybe a rough estimate of the original price. The fork is also a mystery on the 'net so any info on that would be cool - and whatever that boss on the left slider is for?
Anyway, many thanks for any assist
be safe

I'd place those parts right at '00. 99 and 00 had a Crossroads Pro, but the welds are nowhere what you have. Front derailleur is also not original. Around 98-99 was when S collaborated much with Ritchey, those rims are not common in 700c.

FWIW I have seen an S-Works Tange Prestige Crossroads that also don't appear in any literature.

Crossroads Pro via Bike Pedia (click this link)

Yea, as per BikePedia, the msrp was over $1000. But not sure if that was correct, seems a little high for this bike 20 years ago.

OH and yea, I would have replaced that crankset too! Sheesh, a 30/42/52 crankset.... :eek:

That boss on the left fork stanchion may be for dynamo hub wiring or something like that.

You are quite right. I found a few date codes and they were XK an XL for late 1999 so the right time for install on a 2000 bike! All I know about the rims is that they look like some decent stuff and the rear spoke holes are offset.

OK - so why didn't google find that ref ?!?!?! But that is certainly the bike. I would not have been surprised if the list was even more. Even 20 yrs later and a bit used it still has that "quality look" of attention to detail. Here are some more pix of the welds just for example sorta stuff. And the 28/3?/46 on it now is just way better for my decrepit needs
And many thanks for the info assist (even tho the fork is still a mystery :foo:)
