'91 makes sense in my remembered timeline. Do you know how much the bike would have listed for retail? I can't imagine my then wife letting my boys go crazy on this as a gift, unless the salesperson was gifted....lol.
Be awesome if Harrington would chime in on this.

I
suspect that 'S" is the manufacturer, "K" is November, "0" is 1990 and "41" is the 41 st frame. If so, it's the 41st frame manufactured during November 1990. The 1991 MSRP was $649 US. It was 4th from the top in an ATB line consisting of 6 models. You could arguably make that 5th in a line of 7 ATB models, as there was the Twin Peaks tandem with Deore LX/DX, flat bars and 26" wheels.
