Estay frames i believe were manufactured in 1991 and 1992 with some 92 frame being sold as specials in 93. Can't remember if they did estays in 1990 :?
1992 Saracen catalogue
1991 Saracen.
The S stamp was synonymous with all the saracens with the pierced top tube design throughout the 90s.. I think :?
Edit to add: there is also a huge thread on Saracen here

I would think that one is a little newer. The top tub cable route and the ahead style stem (if original) point to it being a bit later. I have a fillet brazed Kili from the 80s that doesn't have the pierced seat tube and a Comp from 90/91 that does but the cable route is different, the rear brake is inside the top tube, the gears go under the BB.
That doesnt have the ritchey dropouts, which I think came in on 1995 models, so I believe yours is a 1994, the same year as mine in my signature, but a different model. Stand to be corrected by those more knowledgeable than me!
It has some nice parts if you can salvage them - ie those Ritchey cranks are very nice.

i took it as being a 93, but i am no expert.
i have since acquired although not arrived yet a traverse frame with allegedly mint nos paint which I might transfer all the components to, i think the frame above might be a touch on the large side!
also overhaul of forks (if needed) will be expensive and would prefer the rigid fork which the traverse has
running gear is dx with quite a few ritchey stamped bits
