BRLVR.v2 is right - it's a Hybrid - Repco used to make a "cross trainer" or something (can't remember the exact name). Perfect for a CX conversion if you want to go that way. I figure it must have been an 18 month fad sometime around when the mountain bike revolution was going on.
CX bikes in those days used to be whatever you had in the shed - dedicated CX frames are a relatively recent phenomenon as the racers used to convert touring frames.

but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
