Look up the old Trek catalogs for the standover height, I've looked at the 1990 one before. I have a longer torso, shorter legs, and the stand over was touching my pants if I stood straight on the...

This sounds like your serial number which puts it between 94-95. Judging by the color description, I'd say 1994 = "also black with titanium decals".
