Help! Early Treks

[heathy]

Ive just come into possession of a Trek 850 antelope, it has a full suntour
xce groupset with suntour x-press shifters [ under bar rapid fire type ]
The paint is red with very small "splatter like" bits.
Im guessing its about a 89-90 bike but need to be sure.
Anyone know more about these :?:

yes, the xpress shifters are simply awful!
