It is a lovely bike and I really like the detailed review of it and a bit of history, excellent for a bike mag.
Though that rear mech looks like a M950 prototype as it has a lot of features just not used in the M900 but later used in the M950 (and partly used in the M910). The M900 is just a small minor tweak to the M735 mech
That and by 1992 the production model would have already been in full swing.

Its obviously a bit of 'Grandpa's axe' but that is the life for most survivor prototypes and such.
