1998 Specialized Crossroad Sport (Women's 19" frame).
My girlfriend's car broke down so she needed some new wheels to get around. We found this for $120 and it has been great (•‿•) we're pretty sure it has a lightweight steel frame but it's been pretty tough finding info on it honestly haha, anyway this thing zips it's crazy and we love it.

Switch out those cantilever brakes with some simple v-brakes (doesn’t need to be anything expensive and you don’t even have to change the levers), switch those tyres for something with a bit of puncture protection (Continental Contact Urban is a very budget-friendly tyre, with excellent grip at surprisingly good rolling resistance while having decent puncture protection – an all-around great commuter package), take a look at the saddle and perhaps go to a bike dealer to get some measurements taken in order to find a saddle that properly fits, and she’s golden.
The frame has mounting points for a rack, so everyday versatility can potentially be greatly enhanced too, and mounting mudguards shouldn’t be an issue either.
