1990..
thats the year shimano ditched mountain lx, & released the 300/400/500 lx groupsets, which the bike has one of.
not sure about the elevated stays, but i vagley remember not all the cro-mega's having them?
I could be wrong but didn't AlpineStar take over/buy out MS Racing around that time (I seem to remember Mike Kloser raced for them) and this looks like one of the first under the AlpineStar brand ..
i have had one since new, bought for my ex wife... bought in 1989, scratched and bruised from baby seat mountings, well used. great bike to lock up in town.
